The session service has additional properties to tune, which are configured under Configuration > Servers and Sites > Default Server Settings > Session.

Table 18.5. Session Settings

Property | Default Value | Suggestions
--- | --- | ---
Maximum Sessions | 5000 | In production this value can safely be set into the 100,000s. The maximum session limit is really controlled by the maximum size of the JVM heap which must be tuned appropriately to match the expected number of concurrent sessions. (`com.iplanet.am.session.maxSessions`)
Sessions Purge Delay | 0 | This should be zero to ensure sessions are purged immediately. (`com.iplanet.am.session.purgedelay`)
