Description

Expected Behavior

The SessionManagementFilter features should be separated into different components so users can use lazy session access while still using some of its features.

Current Behavior

The SessionManagementFilter is not used by default in Spring Security 6. If someone wants to use it, that means that they won't have the benefit of lazy session access because right now any feature of SessionManagementFilter means that lazy session access is gone.

Context

This would allow us to deprecate the SessionManagementFilter and simplify the configuration. It also can simplify the documentation #12601

Research direction

Start by examining SessionManagementFilter and its current features, then review the related documentation issue #12601. Done means the features are separated into components so selected features can be used without disabling lazy session access, with a path toward deprecating SessionManagementFilter and simplifying configuration.
