Enabling and disabling the Redis session cache

Edit online

Use the dsess-enabled stanza entry and the dsess-server-type stanza entry in the [session] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file to enable and disable use of the remote Redis session cache by WebSEAL.

About this task

When the remote Redis session cache is enabled for a clustered WebSEAL server environment, session cookies are used to maintain the session state information.

The [session] ssl-id-sessions stanza entry does not apply when the remote Redis session cache is in use.

Note: "dsess" refers to "distributed session".

Procedure

To enable WebSEAL to use the remote Redis session cache to maintain user sessions, enter a value of yes for the dsess-enabled configuration entry, and a value of redis for the dsess-server-type configuration entry. For example:
```
[session]
dsess-enabled = yes
dsess-server-type = redis
```
To disable WebSEAL from using the remote Redis session cache to maintain user sessions, enter a value of no (default) for the dsess-enabled configuration entry. For example:
```
[session]
dsess-enabled = no
```
