Persistent and Non-persistent Sessions

Standard SiteMinder sessions are non-persistent: they are maintained on the client side by writing a cookie containing session information to a user's browser. SiteMinder also provides the ability to configure persistent sessions to provide Windows security context functionality and support for Federated Web Services. Persistent sessions are configured on a per realm basis.

Persistent sessions should only be used where necessary since use of the session services to maintain sessions has an impact on system performance.

Note: More information about enabling and configuring session services exists in the Policy Server Administration Guide.
