Default Session Scheme

The default session scheme is the scheme that the SPS uses to establish and maintain user sessions when no other scheme is specified for a user agent type. The <SessionScheme> element contains the name attribute, which is used to identify the session scheme when assigning schemes to user agent types. The server.conf file must contain a default session scheme configuration.

You can configure the default session scheme to use any available session scheme.

The default session scheme section has the following format:

#Session Schemes
<SessionScheme name="default">

class="com.netegrity.proxy.session.SessionCookieScheme"
accepts_smsession_cookies="true"

</SessionScheme>

The <SessionScheme> element has the following directives:

class

Indicates the Java class that contains the default session scheme.

Default: com.netegrity.proxy.session.SSLIdSessionScheme

accepts_smsession_cookies

Indicates that if a user agent type is associated with the SiteMinder cookies session scheme, users that access resources via that user agent type will maintain session using traditional SiteMinder cookies.

SiteMinder uses cookies to track sessions so a cookies scheme is supported by the SPS. Indicates if SMSESSION cookies are accepted.

Specify one of the following values:

true

Indicates that SMSESSION cookies are accepted and used by the session scheme.

false

Indicates that SMSESSION cookies are not supported by the session scheme.
