Session management commands
===========================

Contents:

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

   hello
   login
   logout


A session is started when a new TCP connection to the server is opened over SSL.

The :ref:`login <epp-login-command>` command begins an authorized session and gives access to chosen EPP services the server offers.
Session is closed in response to :ref:`logout <epp-logout-command>` request issued by the client.

Connection limits
-----------------

The server will have limitations on a number of concurrent connections opened from the same client.
Moreover, the session would timeout after being idle for more than 10 minutes or lasting over 5 days.

:ref:`hello <epp-hello-command>` or :ref:`poll <epp-poll-request>` can be issued at regular intervals to keep the session alive.
