Session Binding

For any Content Store site that allows visitors to create user profiles and log in, you are recommended to make use of Apache's mod_proxy_balancer for providing sticky sessions and load balancing.

Be aware that you cannot use application server clustering (that is, sharing sessions between your application servers) since this requires that all objects written to the Session object are serializable. Currently, this requirement is not met by all Content Store objects, and you therefore need to bind all sessions to one specific application server. You can either do this in your web server (for example, Apache's mod_proxy_balancer, as mentioned above) or alternatively in the cache server itself, if it supports this.
