Hi everyone.

I've been researching the following question but haven't found an answer.
I'd be grateful for any answers or advice you can give me regarding this question.


[Product]
Siteminder 12.8

[Question]
The following message is being displayed on a user's system.

SELECT expirationtime, maxidletime, lasttouch, status, sessionblob FROM ss_sessionspec5 WHERE sessionid = 'xxxxxxxxxx'

UPDATE ss_sessionspec5 SET expirationtime = (xxxxxxxxxx), maxidletime = (xxxxx), lasttouch = (xxxxxxxxxx), status = (0), sessionblob = 'xxxxx


I found an explanation of ss_sessionspec5 in the "Default Data Storage of Session Variables and OIDC Tokens in a Session Store" of the Siteminder manual listed below, so I think ss_sessionspec5 is an item related to Siteminder.

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/identity-security/siteminder/12-8/configuring/session-store.html

I would appreciate any advice on what this message means and how to avoid it.

Best Regards,
