Global Session Properties for secure web services

Post by qt_ky »

In Information Server 8.5 on AIX, the Global Session Properties default to:

Inactive Session Timeout: 1800 seconds
Check Inactive Sessions Every: 60 seconds
Maximum Sessions: 1000

I have a SOAP over HTTP request/response web service, DataStage job published using ISD, that requires authentication (HTTP Basic Authentication), so each user request of the web service creates a session.

Each new web service session does not timeout for 30 minutes, even though the user got their web service response in a matter of milliseconds.

Does anyone think there should be logic somewhere that's smart enough to close such a session once it has sent the response?

I could lower the Inactive Session Timeout to 30 seconds, but I guess I'm worried that would cause DataStage Designer or Director sessions to get dropped when they shouldn't.

I haven't tested this much..... are the sessions all of the same credentials, or unique credentials?
