Managing Distributed Session Cache in Docker

Use this page to view and update the Distributed Session Cache (DSC) configuration data in a Docker environment.

About this task

This page is available only when Security Access Manager is running in a Docker environment.

Procedure

  1. From the top menu, select Manage System Settings > Network Settings > DCS Configuration.
  2. Specify the general settings.
    Worker Threads
    The number of worker threads that are allocated to processing requests.
    Maximum Session Lifetime
    The maximum lifetime (in seconds) of any session that is stored by the DSC.
    Client Grace Period
    The length of time (in seconds) that a client (aka Web Reverse Proxy) has to reconnect before sessions that are owned by that client are discarded.
    Service Port
    The port number on which the DSC will listen for requests.
    Replication Port
    The port number on which the DSC will listen for requests from replicated DSC servers.
  3. Specify the external connection settings. This data is used when configuring the DSC clients (aka Web Reverse Proxy and administration client). It corresponds to the host identifier and port used to connect to the replication and session services of the various DSC servers. For failover purposes, up to 4 DSC servers can be configured (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary).
    Address
    The IP address or resolvable host name over which clients can connect to the DSC.
    Service Port
    The port that can be used by clients to connect to the DSC for session requests. This port can be different to the configured Service Port under general settings due to the port mapping capability of Docker.
    Replication Port
    The port that a DSC server should use when connecting to a replicated DSC server. This port can be different to the configured Replication Port under general settings due to the port mapping capability of Docker.
