SEC-1916: Exception Thrown During OpenID Authentication When User's Session Expires

Because data that's important to the OpenID authentication process is stored in the session, if the user's session expires an exception is thrown. For example, the user got redirected to the login page but didn't enter their credentials right away (causes session to expire).

It would be nice to be able to use different strategies for saving the OpenID data needed during the authentication process. Right now, only the session is being used.
