Single Sign-On and Web Services

Be aware that a regular login takes about 30 minutes, but it could take much longer if Single Sign-on is implemented.

If you want to eliminate this overhead, you can use the Login service to login and pass the session ID in the subsequent web service calls. However, ensure that you also use the Logout service to log out after the work is complete. If you do not log out, the system eventually logs out based on inactivity time out configuration but until that happens, a session remains open consuming memory. Left over login sessions also result in denial of service once the maximum allowed login count is exceeded.
