v12 APM, Profile scope

Hello Alex,

it means that with this feature you can share or not an active session between different profile/virtual server.

for virtual : you limit the session information to the virtual server, so if you have the same apm policy on two virtual servers (same config bu different services, imagine a reverse proxy deployement with two web applications) if the user is logged on apm on VS1, when he connect to VS2 his session is not known so he as to log again and go through the policy as it was a different equipment hosting it.

for policy : take the same usecase but this time, the user logged on VS1 is automatically known from VS2 sharing the same policy. So no need to relog and go through the policy again.

for global you go through a policy the first time you connect to a service and then you can access any virtual whatever the policy on it.
