Session Store

(Optional) When SiteMinder authenticates a user, the Policy Server issues a session ticket. A session ticket contains basic information about the user and authentication information for the user. By default, SiteMinder implements session management through non–persistent sessions. If non–persistent sessions are enabled, an Agent writes the session ticket to a cookie on the browser of the users. However, some SiteMinder features require persistent sessions.

If persistent sessions are enabled, an Agent must write the session ticket to a stand–alone database.

You deploy a SiteMinder session store (session store) for the following primary reasons:

Agents use this information to identify users and provide session information to the Policy Server.

Note: For more information about configuring a session store, see the documentation roadmap.
