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 information, see Configure 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, we 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 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.

• Configure a WebSEAL instance on a cluster member to use the distributed session cache
  For nodes that are in the distributed session cache server cluster, use the local management interface (LMI) to configure WebSEAL to use the distributed session cache.
• Configuration for WebSEAL instances that are external to the cluster to use the distributed session cache
  We can manually configure a WebSEAL instance on an appliance, which is external to the distributed session cache server cluster, to use the distributed session cache.
