Enabling and disabling the distributed session cache for WebSEAL

Edit online

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

About this task

When the distributed session cache is enabled for a clustered WebSEAL server environment, session cookies are used to maintain distributed session state information. The [session] ssl-id-sessions stanza entry does not apply when the distributed session cache is in use.

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

Procedure

To enable WebSEAL to use the distributed session cache to maintain user sessions, enter a value of yes. For example:
```
[session]
dsess-enabled = yes
```
To disable WebSEAL from using the distributed session cache to maintain user sessions, enter a value of no (default). For example:
```
[session]
dsess-enabled = no
```
