Subject: Concurrent Sessions
> Hi. I have a few questions about multiple sessions, and I'm hoping some
> of the people here might have come across these issues. What I'm doing is
> a web app that runs on Apache with mod_ssl. There will be a lot of users
> at any one time - hundreds, and they are all connecting to the website
> over an ssl connection. Because the website is very dynamic, I think each
> users is going to have to be using an Apache https session for the whole
> time they use the web application, instead of the vanilla Apache login,
> send page, log out style session.
>
> What I was wondering was how many such sessions can I run at once, and
> what kind of performance can I expect? Is it sensible to do this on a
> single processor PIII/900MHz with 512Mb? Is there a limit on the number
> of http/https sessions I can run at once? From reading the FM's on the
> mod_ssl page, it seems to say that the real performance problem is the
> initial key exchange, and once that is done there isn't much ssl processor
> overhead.
>
> Also, am I going about this in the right way at all? Would it be better
> to use the http login and password features, and have lots of small ssl
> sessions, rather that keep people logged into their ssl session for as
> long at they are using it, with the web app's own login program. Maybe I
> could keep their username and password in a cookie, and resend it per
> page, so the ssl session was very short. Would the burden of key
> exchanges make it too slow?
