Specifying the cookie name for junctions

You can configure the name of the cookie that contains the LTPA token for junctioned web servers.

WebSphere® Application Server and WebSEAL use the same default values for the LTPA cookie name:

LtpaToken for LTPA tokens.
LtpaToken2 for LTPA version 2 tokens.

You can use the entry jct-ltpa-cookie-name in the [ltpa] stanza to configure the name of the LTPA cookies sent from WebSEAL across junctions on the backend. You can configure this item globally or on a per junction basis.

To set a cookie name for WebSEAL to use across all junctions, configure the entry in the [ltpa] stanza. For example:

[ltpa]
jct-ltpa-cookie-name = myGlobalLTPAcookie

To set a cookie name specific to a particular junction, configure the entry in an [ltpa:/jct] stanza.

where:

jct: Name of the junction to the backend server.

For example:

[ltpa:/jct]
jct-ltpa-cookie-name = myLTPACookieForJct

If you use a custom LTPA cookie name in WebSEAL, you must also configure the same cookie name in WebSphere to achieve single sign-on. If you do not configure the jct-ltpa-cookie-name entry, WebSEAL uses the default cookie name.
