How do I enable Client-based sessions in AM (All versions)?

Enabling client-based sessions

You can enable client-based sessions at a global level or at a realm level, where realm level settings override the global settings for the specific realm.

Global level

You can configure client-based sessions at the global level using either the console, Amster or ssoadm:

• AM 6 and later console: navigate to: Configure > Authentication > Core Attributes > General and enable Use Client-based Sessions.
• AM 5.x console: navigate to: Configure > Authentication > Core Attributes > General and enable Use Stateless Sessions.
• Amster: follow the steps in How do I update property values in AM (All versions) using Amster? with these values:
  • Entity: Authentication
  • Property: statelessSessionsEnabled
• ssoadm: enter the following command: $ ./ssoadm set-attr-defs -s iPlanetAMAuthService -t organization -u [adminID] -f [passwordfile] -a openam-auth-stateless-sessions=truereplacing [adminID] and [passwordfile] with appropriate values.
