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.
For more information, see Configuration for WebSEAL instances that are external to the cluster to use the distributed session cache.

Advanced configuration for the distributed session cache describes the distributed session cache manual configuration options in greater detail.
