Enable session ID caching (Not valid on Windows NT)

Cached session IDs allow a client and server to communicate with a shortened handshake. The session ID cache is enabled by default.

  1. To enable session ID cache, either accept the default or specify the SSLCacheEnable directive in the configuration file outside of a virtual host stanza.
  2. Assign a name to the port for the session ID cache by specifying the SSLCachePortFilename if the default name in the var/logs directory is unacceptable.
  3. Set the timeout value that applies to the session ID cache. Specify the SSLV2Timeout directive (valid values are between 0 and 100) and the SSLV3Timeout directive (valid values are between 0 and 86400). The values are in seconds.
  4. Decide whether to log caching errors. To enable logging of errors that might occur during session ID caching or retrieval from the cache, specify the SSLCacheErrorLog directive in the configuration file outside of a virtual host stanza.
  5. Save the configuration file and restart the server.
