Determine SSL Cache Time

The sslcachetime setting specifies how long the Affiliate Server saves SSL connection information that it receives from the producer-side Web server where Federation Web Services is installed. The default value for this parameter is 360000 milliseconds.

The consumer-side client reestablishes the SSL connection after the cache time expires.

To change this setting, enter a new value, in milliseconds, for example:

sslcachetime=460000

Setting this value to a negative integer is equivalent to infinite cache time.

Note: Setting this value higher improves performance of the SSL back channel connection but may decrease the level of security of the connection because of less frequent SSL handshaking between the SAML Affiliate Agent and the Federation Web Services.
