PM19469: ENABLE COOKIESUPPORTEDLANGUAGEPREPROCESSOR TO BE CLEARED ON LOGO UT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PM17679 introduced new CookieSupportedLanguagePreProcessor that
  stores a user selected language as cookie. This cookie is
  persisted in the browser and is active across user login
  sessions. PM19469 extends the functionality of the PreProcessor
  so that the language selection cookie is cleared at user
  logout,
  so that the selection is only valid for the session of a user.
  
  APAR PM19469 provides a configurable LogoutFilter that clears
  the cookie on user logout to revert selected language.
  
  Manual steps required:
  The Logout Filter needs to be configured manually, to active the
  cookie clear functionality:
  The following two settings must be added/modified to the 'WP
  Authentication
  Service' to enable the filter after APAR installation. Please
  use WAS admin console Resources -> Resource Environment
  Providers ->  'WP Authentication
  Service' -> custom properties -> add/modify to change the
  settings. If there are already entries present for the two
  filter chain properties, please append the
  CookieSupportLogoutFilter entry at the end of the list (use
  colon or semicolon as separator for classnames).
  
  logout.explicit.filterchain=com.ibm.wps.state.preprocessors
  .locale.CookieSupportLogoutFilter
  logout.implicit.filterchain=com.ibm.wps.state.preprocessors
  .locale.CookieSupportLogoutFilter
  
  Please save and restart the server afterwards.
