Configure the lifetime of entries in the temporary session cache

We can configure the maximum lifetime of entries in the temporary session cache that WebSEAL uses for session sharing with Microsoft Office applications.

The temporary session cache stores a short-lived session. WebSEAL uses this cache to create an intermediate session that maps between the short-lived session and the standard session. The index into the temporary session cache is returned to the client as a persistent cookie.

Use the temp-session-max-lifetime entry in the [session] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file to set the maximum lifetime (in seconds) of entries in the temporary session cache.

Set the temp-session-max-lifetime value to 0 to disable the use of the temporary session cache.

Example

The following example configures a maximum lifetime duration of 10 seconds:

[session]
temp-session-max-lifetime = 10
