Customization of the session cookie name

Edit online

You can customize the names of the WebSEAL session cookies. The WebSEAL configuration file provides different default names for session cookies used over TCP and SSL connections:

[session]
tcp-session-cookie-name = PD-H-SESSION-ID
ssl-session-cookie-name = PD-S-SESSION-ID

Conditions for modifying the default cookie names:

  • Cookie names must be alphanumeric.
  • Cookie names must be unique.
  • To use the same cookie for both TCP and SSL communication, configure use-same-session=yes.
  • These stanza entries affect both host and domain type cookies.
