What is a multiple parameter?

For some of the parameters in the IBM Session Manager configuration, more than one entry can be specified. Such parameters are called multiple parameters - a few of them are listed below (this list is not intended to be comprehensive):

You can add, remove, or reposition (move up/down) parameters. For more information, see Working with a set of multiple parameters.
