Configuring session management by level

When you configure session management at the Web container level, all applications and the respective Web modules in the Web container normally inherit that configuration, setting up a basic default configuration for the applications and Web modules below it. However, you can set up different configurations individually for specific applications and Web modules that vary from the Web container default. These different configurations override the default for these applications and Web modules only.

About this task

Note: When you overwrite the default session management settings on the application level, all the Web modules below that application inherit this new setting unless they too are set to overwrite these settings.
Avoid trouble Avoid trouble: Session management configuration is a post-deployment configuration and is tied to existing targets. If you change the target mapping after you configure session management, you must return to the session management configuration panel in the administrative console or use wsadmin scripting and apply the changes. Apply the changes to module targets if session management is configured for a web module. Apply the changes to all targets if session management is configured for an application level.gotcha

      2. Under Container Settings, expand Web Container Settings and click Web container.
      3. Under Additional Properties, click Session management.
    • Complete the following substeps for the enterprise application level:
      1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name.
      2. Under Web Module Properties, click Session management.
    • Complete the following substeps for the Web module level:
      1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name.
      2. Under Modules, click Manage Modules > module_name.
      3. Under Additional Properties, click Session Management.
  3. Manage sessions by configuring session tracking, session timeouts and serializing access.
