Does EpiServer use SessionState by default
Hi,
By default when you install EPiServer Alloy demo, the session is enabled for EPiServer path:
<location path="EPiServer">
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1000000" requestValidationMode="2.0" />
<pages enableEventValidation="true" enableViewState="true" enableSessionState="true" enableViewStateMac="true">
I one of our old projects, we turned off session state for performance reason. Everything worked except of EPiServer import/export functionality.

So if enableSessionState="true" does that mean the web server is holding session in memory or in the EpiServer database?

Hi,
Just wondering if EpiServer uses SessionState by default. I'm not seeing anything in the web.config (from a site we inherited) that specifies whether session state is being handled inproc or in sql.
I'm guessing from what I've read that anything EpiServer is doing session wise would be handled in the EpiServer DB and it would be anything asp.net session wise that has been added as customer asp.net code would be managed as inproc or in sql.
Any thoughts welcome!
