Externalized session support

Starting with version 1.4.0, StoRM WebDAV supports storing HTTP session information in an external redis server.

This can be useful when deploying multiple replicas of the StoRM WebDAV service.

Configuring support for externalized sessions

Externalized session support can be enabled by adding the following configuration to the /etc/storm/webdav/config/application.yaml file:

spring:
  session:
    store-type: redis

  redis:
    host: redis.host.example
    port: 6379

For other redis connection configuration options, see the Spring boot reference guide.
