Configuring the name of the temporary session cookie

You can configure the name of the temporary session cookie that WebSEAL creates to share a session with Microsoft Office applications.

About this task

WebSEAL creates the short-lived session cookie in response to a request for the /pkmstempsession management page. This cookie stores an index into the temporary session cache that WebSEAL uses later to locate the corresponding session in the standard session cache.

Procedure

Use the temp-session-cookie-name entry in the [session] stanza of the WebSEAL configuration file to specify the name of the temporary session cookie.
Note: This configuration item is valid only when the temporary session cache is enabled. To enable the cache, you must set a non-zero value for the temp-session-cookie-name entry in the [session] stanza.

Example

The following example configures a cookie name of PD-TEMP-SESSION-ID:

[session]
temp-session-cookie-name = PD-TEMP-SESSION-ID
