corresponding session ID in the diagnostic buffer.
Subscription states and state transitions
Client connects to server, login with correct authentication data (correct credentials).
Client closes connection correctly.
Client no longer sends messages; session ends with timeout.
Client connects to server, login with incorrect authentication data.
