failover-update-cookie

Use the failover-update-cookie stanza entry to specify the frequency at which WebSEAL updates the session activity timestamp in failover cookies.

Syntax

failover-update-cookie = number_of_seconds

Description

The maximum interval, in number of seconds, allowed between updates of the session activity timestamp in the failover cookies. The value is an integer. When the server receives a request, if the number of seconds specified for this parameter has passed, the session activity timestamp is updated.

Note: If you set a value greater than zero, ensure that you also set session-activity-timestamp = add in the [failover-add-attributes] stanza. If you do not set this additional value, WebSEAL decodes the failover cookie on each user access, which can adversely affect performance.

Options

number_of_seconds
When the value is 0, the session activity timestamp is updated on every request. When the value is less than zero (negative number), the session activity timestamp is never updated. There is no maximum value.

Usage

This stanza entry is required.

Default value

-1

Example

failover-cookie-update = 60
