Suggest SSLSessionCacheTimeout and Cache sizes?

2003-12-19 Thread Ken Snider
Does anyone have any information on shmcb cache sizings? Specifically, how many bytes per request are taken up in shm for each cache entry? I'd like to make sure my shm size is sufficient for the Cache Timeouts I want to use. Secondly, is there any reason why the SSLSessionCacheTimeout can't

unless dared. Secondly, is there any reason why the SSLSessionCacheTimeout can't be arbitrarily large (say, an hour)? And at what size (or number of entries) does the cache size begin to seriously hamper lookups within the cache itself? This was a problem with the earlier caching code (shmht

- or both. The timeout that I was thinking of is some thing like (10 * SSLSessionCacheTimeOut global_timeout 1500) You can do this at an application specific basis. It does not hurt, as long as you make sure that sessions will expire after some reasonable amount of time. I cited from RFC 2246

Lutz, Thanks for that feedback.. When I meant reset the timeout, I certainly did not mean to do it for ever.. There has to be a limit - either the number of times the reset is done or the time limit - or both. The timeout that I was thinking of is some thing like (10 * SSLSessionCacheTimeOut

The timeout on a session is also a concept subject to much misunderstanding. I've always though TTL, TimeToLive, was a better name. /r$ -- Zolera Systems, Securing web services (XML, SOAP, Signatures, Encryption) http://www.zolera.com

Hi, If my understanding is correct, the current logic for SSLSessionCacheTimeout (in mod_ssl) is to mark the time when the first request was received, and then, irrespective of how long the connection has been active/inactive, remove the session identifier from the cache after the timeout
