Memcached session backend
=========================


.. important::

    \ `Memcached <http://memcached.org/>`__ can be used with
    LL::NG, but some features will not work since Memcached doesn't provide
    any parsing system:

    -  Session expiration: sessions will never expire (server side)
    -  :ref:`Session explorer<session-explorer>` will not work
    -  :ref:`Session restrictions<session-restrictions>` will not work

    To keep Memcached performance level and LL::NG features, you can replace
    `Memcached <http://memcached.org/>`__ by
    `Redis <http://code.google.com/p/redis/>`__ using
    :doc:`NoSQL session backend<nosqlsessionbackend>`.

-----
