Enabling Session Identifiers
The number inside the braces (0 in this case) is a group ID. The group ID cab 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, and 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
Activating Ticketing for Regions
The final step to activating anonymous ticketing is to specify the regions that should be
tracked by using the SI_RequireSI command in the Region directive, which has
this form:
SI_RequireSI departmentID groupID
where:
departmentID
is the department name you initialized using the SI_Department directive.
groupID
should be the same group ID you specified when you enabled anonymous ticketing
using the -EnableAnonymousTicketing attribute.
For example:
Region /Open_Stuff/*.html {
SI_RequireSI Open_Department 5
}
In this example, the Region command directs the server to track accesses of all files
ending in .html in the directory /Open_Stuff. Enter similar region directives for all
regions you want to track.
This example includes all the directives needed to activate tracking:
#
# Turn on Session Identifiers
#
SI_Enable YES
