Session Configuration
As each user uses the system, they get a "session" allocated to them
this stores various information about them while they are using the
system, like what page of a multi page list they are on and what
was their last search so that it will come up in the editfield should
they do a second search and so forth. These sessions take a small amount of memory
so you may want to limit the number and the length they are active in the system.
- Maximum Concurrent Sessions
The maximum number of people that can use the program at one time.
If you set this and more than that number of people are trying to
use the system at one time they will get an error message telling them
the server is busy and to please try back in a moment. The people already
using the system will still be able to continue using the system without
having it slow down.
- Quit If Idle For
There is no reason to keep the program running on the server when no-one
is using it. The web server will start it automatically when someone
requests it. You can have the program quit if it is idle. This is a good
idea.
- Session Timeout
A session is allocated for each person using the system. If they dont use it
again for a while that session needs to be cleaned up. If your site doesn't
have much to read on it, a short timeout will be ok, if they are going to
be spending a long time on a page in the middle of the process you'll want to give them
a little more time. If a persons session times out and they try to use it again
they dont get an error message, they just start over at the entry page.
