Meteor not able to use Session in server side with coffeescript

I am using Meteor with coffeescript. I have a file named methods.coffee under lib folder inside Meteor project. A snippet of the file content is as follows:

if Meteor.isServer
    Meteor.methods
        authenticateUser: (email, password) ->
            customerCursor = Customers.find({"email": email, "password": password})
            if customerCursor.count()
                console.log "Authentication successful for #{email}"
                customerArray = customerCursor.fetch()
                Session.set("CID", customerArray[0].CID)
                console.log "CustomerId #{Session.get("CID")} stored in session"
                return true
            else
                console.log "Authentication failed for #{email}"
                return false

When I try to call the method authenticateUser, an error is thrown saying that Session is not defined. Is it not possible to set to Session inside a Meteor method? If possible, how can I do that? Thanks in advance.

Session is only available on the client. The session value you want to use on the server needs to be passed as an argument in the method call.
