Close the Artifact Back Channel After Assertion Retrieval

For artifact single sign-on, the Affiliate Server retrieves the assertion from the producer across an SSL back channel. You need to ensure that the Affiliate Server closes or times out the socket connection for the back channel after the assertion is retrieved. If the back channel connection is not closed, all the connection resources may be used up.

The sockettimeout attribute lets you set a specific timeout value for the SSL back channel connection between the producer and the Affiliate Server.

The default value for the sockettimeout is 300000 milliseconds (5 minutes). The maximum value allowed is 2,147,483,647 milliseconds (597 hours).
