Enabling Session Identifiers
To configure for anonymous ticketing, follow these steps:
1. Enable Session Identifiers with the SI_Enable directive.
2. Enable anonymous ticketing with the SI_Department directive.
3. Initialize the department with the SI_Default directive.
4. Activate ticketing for one or more regions with the SI_RequestSI command in the
Region directive.
Enabling Session Identifiers
By default, the iTP Secure WebServer does not use Session Identifiers. You must
explicitly enable Session Identifiers by using the SI_Enable directive in the
configuration file as follows:
SI_Enable Yes
When the SI_Enable directive is set to No, any Session Identifier encountered in a
URL is treated as part of the URL.
For further information about the SI_Enable directive, see SI_Enable
on page A-69.
Enabling Anonymous Ticketing
After enabling ticketing, you also must enable anonymous ticketing by using the
SI_Default directive and the -EnableAnonymousTicketing attribute. For
example:
SI_Default -EnableAnonymousTicketing {0}
The number inside the braces (0 in this case) is a group ID. The group ID may be any
integer between 0 and 255.
Initializing a Department
Every region that you want to track must be part of a department. For anonymous
ticketing, you must initialize a department, then use the department ID in configuration
directives.
You initialize a department by using the SI_Department directive, which has the
following format:
SI_Department departmentID
The department ID can be any string, as long as it does not contain spaces. For example:
SI_Department Open_Department
