Configuring session timeout settings

By default, Tealeaf is pre-configured to time out sessions that grow too large, last too long, or are left idle for a period of time.

About this task

When these limits are exceeded, the Canister breaks the session into fragments, each of which is assigned the same TLTSID value.

The TLSessioning session agent continues to use the same TLTSID value for sessions that have timed out.

In the Services Controls tab of the Canister configuration, you can specify Session Size Limits, which define the maximum number of hits, size in bytes, or time per session. For information about setting size limits, see "Configuring the CX Canister" in the IBM Tealeaf CX Configuration Manual.

Tealeaf also times out sessions that have been allowed to stand idle for a period of time. If no new pages are added to a session for a predefined period of time, the session is closed. If the visitor resumes browsing, a new session identifier is issued. See "Configuring the CX Canister" in the IBM Tealeaf CX Configuration Manual.
