'How to configure server-side authentication in CDO 3.0 or above?

Standalone CDO servers are configured using the cdo-server.xml configuration file, as explained on the CDO Wiki. A separate wiki page has further information about configuring server-side CDO/Net4j authentication, but it is outdated as of version 3.0, as noted on the page:

[...] Note that in CDO 3.0 we have an additional, superior athentication mechanism per CDOSession (not only on Net4j IConnector level). [...]

Neither new authentication mechanism, nor its usage are explained. How do I configure server-side authentication in CDO 3.0 or above?
