Session Server Overview

The session server is a module of the Policy Server that maintains information about SiteMinder sessions. The session server enables the Policy Server to store a user’s session information in a common database called the session store. The session store serves as a temporary container for the SAML assertion that is eventually sent to the consumer. Sessions created in the session server are persistent.
