Hi Tauf, Ok, this is starting to makes some sense. Just to be clear should the sticky bit timeout match the General Settings - Session Timeout (minutes) - 60 or the Connection Timeout (Minutes) - 5 ?

That is the new feature in 7.6.04 and above. However, from the user hitting the VIP to the Mid Tier, you still need some sort of session persistence setup to keep the user tied to 1 web server. This sticky bit timeout should be set to the same as your connection timeout in the mid tier.

Each mid-tier points to a load balancer that points to the two AR Servers. As shown below the session timeout is set to 60 minutes but I have users complaining the frequently need to log back in after about 15-20 minutes. The desired behavior is that any load balancing takes place when the session is started (e.g. login). If the user is active at least every 59 minutes, the session remains in place. After 60 minutes of inactivity, the session is terminated. Any setting suggestions on how to a achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Finally is there a difference between a session and a connection? Thinking like an end user, it is the same. Mid-Tier Version 7.6.04 SP3 General Settings - Session Timeout (minutes) - 60 Setting to support Load Balancers Enable Lifespan - checked Connection Lifespan (Minutes) - 15 Connection Pool Settings Maximum Settings per Server - 80 Connection Timeout (Minutes) - 5 Idle Connections per server - 5 Mark Mark Brittain Remedy Developer ITILv3 Foundation NaviSite - A Time Warner Cable Company mbritt...@navisite.com<mailto:mbritt...@navisite.com> <mailto:mbritt...@navisite.com<mailto:mbritt...@navisite.com>> Office: 315-453-2912 x5335<tel:315-453-2912%20x5335> Mobile: 315-882.5360<tel:315-882.5360> ________________________________ This e-mail is the property of NaviSite, Inc.
