<p>
<acronym title="LemonLDAP::NG">LL::NG</acronym> portal provides <acronym title="Simple Object Access Protocol">SOAP</acronym> end points for sessions management:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> <strong>sessions/</strong>: read only access to sessions (enough for distant Handlers)</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> <strong>adminSessions/</strong>: read/write access to sessions (required for distant Portal, distant Manager or distant Handlers which modify sessions)</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This session backend can be used to share sessions stored in a non-network backend (like <a href="../../documentation/1.4/filesessionbackend.html" class="wikilink1" title="documentation:1.4:filesessionbackend">file session backend</a>) or in a network backend protected with a firewall that only accepts <acronym title="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol">HTTP</acronym> flows.
</p>
<p>
Most of the time, <acronym title="Simple Object Access Protocol">SOAP</acronym> session backend is used by Handlers installed on external servers.
</p>
<p>
To configure it, <acronym title="Simple Object Access Protocol">SOAP</acronym> session backend will be set trough Manager in global configuration (used by all Hanlders), and the real session backend will be configured for local components in lemonldap-ng.ini.

<div class="level3">
<p>
Real session backend will be configured in <code>lemonldap-ng.ini</code>, in <code>portal</code> section (the portal hosts the <acronym title="Simple Object Access Protocol">SOAP</acronym> service for sessions, and will do the link between <acronym title="Simple Object Access Protocol">SOAP</acronym> requests and real sessions).
</p>
<p>
For example, if real sessions are stored in <a href="../../documentation/1.4/filesessionbackend.html" class="wikilink1" title="documentation:1.4:filesessionbackend">files</a>:
</p>
<pre class="code file ini"><span class="re0"><span class="br0">&#91;</span>portal<span class="br0">&#93;</span></span>

<p>
<p><div class="notetip">If your sessions explorer is on the same server that the portal, either use the <strong>adminSessions</strong> end point in Manager configuration, or override the <code>globalStorage</code> and <code>globalStorageOptions</code> parameters in section all (and not portal) of <code>lemonldap-ng.ini</code>.
