Max Session time

[evergrean100]

For sessions what is the maximum I can use?

I would like to set my session timeout to 14 hours:

 CFAPPLICATION NAME="MyApplication"      CLIENTMANAGEMENT="Yes"      
SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes"      
SETCLIENTCOOKIES="No"      
SESSIONTIMEOUT="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,840,0)#"

Will the 14 hour session put a load on our CF 7 server on IIS? And I assume the session id is stored on the server and client??

we have sessions (cfid&cftoken) that exist over 6 months. It depends on what you are doing with sessions. In our case, we are totally fine.

hope it helps...

just be aware that a very busy site holding on to that many session for that long *could* have memory issues if you are storing large data object like queries in the session.

a few simple session vars will take up very little memory even for thousands of users.

Really, simple variable like isloggedon, username, and junk like that that we always do is only a matter of bytes per user. Several thousand users is barely in the MB range + overhead for CF, so you should be ok.
