SSLSessionCache

Type of the Global/Interprocess SSL Session Cache
Syntax: SSLSessionCache A
Example: SSLSessionCache dbm:logs/ssl_cache
Since: Apache 1.3

This directive configures the storage type of the global/interprocess SSL session cache. This cache speeds up parallel request processing by avoiding unnecessary session handshakes on subsequent or even parallel requests. Three storage types are supported: ``none'' disables the session cache (not recommended); ``dbm:filepath'' uses a UNIX NDBM file on disk (under filepath) as the cache storage (the portable cache variant); and ``shm:filepath[(bytes)]'' uses a high-performance hash table inside a shared memory segment as the cache storage (the shared memory segment is established via filepath and has a maximum size of bytes).
