Quickstart guide for WebSEAL to use the distributed session cache
The process for configuring WebSEAL to use the distributed session cache depends on whether WebSEAL is running on an appliance in the same cluster as the distributed session cache server.
- WebSEAL instance that is internal to the distributed session cache server cluster
- If WebSEAL is on an appliance in the same cluster, there is a configuration option in the local management interface (LMI) to configure WebSEAL to use the distributed session cache. For more information, see Configuring a WebSEAL instance on a cluster member to use the distributed session cache.
- WebSEAL instance that is external to the distributed session cache server cluster
- For a WebSEAL instance that is not on an appliance in the distributed
session cache server cluster, you can manually configure WebSEAL to
use the distributed session cache. This manual configuration is required
for WebSEAL instances that fall into the following two categories:
- Software-based WebSEAL instances, such as ISAM 7.0 software installations.
- Appliance-based WebSEAL instances that are not in the same cluster as the distributed session cache server.
Advanced configuration for the distributed session cache describes the distributed session cache manual configuration options in greater detail.
