1.6.3 Configuring Connection and Session Persistence

The Access Gateway establishes three types of connections:
Access Gateway to browser
Access Gateway to Web server
Browser to Web server
The Access Gateway connections to the browser and the Access Gateway connections to the Web
server involve setting up a TCP connection for an HTTP request. HTTP connections usually service
only one request and response sequence, and the TCP connection is opened and closed during the
sequence. A persistent connection allows multiple requests to be serviced before the connection is
closed and saves a significant amount of processing time. To configure this type of persistence, see
the following:
Access Gateway to Browser: Click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit > [Name of Reverse
Proxy] > TCP Listen Options and configure the Enable Persistent Connections option.
Access Gateway to Web Server: Click Devices > Access Gateways > Edit > [Name of
Reverse Proxy] > [Name of Proxy Service] > Web Servers > TCP Connect Options and
configure the Enable Persistent Connections option.
The persistence of the browser to Web server connection is always enabled and is not configurable.
This feature allows a browser to use the same Web server after an initial connection has been
established. Most Web applications are designed to expect this type of behavior.
