We're working on a clientsession integration package for Happstack.
Getting sessions right is harder than it might seem, especially as we'd
like to do something more interesting than a key-value store for Happstack.
In the mean time, you could perhaps do something simple yourself, such as
generating a session ID with the entropy package and store that in a cookie
as base64. Then you can use that ID to look things up in acid-state, for
example.

Have you looked at this for authentication?
