Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Using SSL session ID for session persistence

The SSL session ID is effective only when the server is running SSL transactions. Because of the heavy processing load required to maintain SSL connections most network configurations use SSL only when it is necessary. Persistence based on SSL Session ID ensures completion of complex transactions in proxy server environments. However, this type of persistence does not scale on servers because of their computational requirements.
