# Sessions support

Memcached provides a custom session handler that can be used to store user sessions in memcache. A completely separate memcached instance is used for that internally, so you can use a different server pool if necessary. The session keys are stored under the prefix `memc.sess.key.`, so be aware of this if you use the same server pool for sessions and generic caching.

`session.save_handler` `string`

- Set to `memcached` to enable sessions support.

`session.save_path` `string`

- Defines a comma separated of `hostname:port` entries to use for session server pool, for example `"sess1:11211, sess2:11211"`.
