Changing the HTTP session management cookie name

Change the HTTP session management cookie name if the adapter and CLM are installed in the same server or are behind the same reverse proxy, such as IBM® HTTP Server.

About this task

It is necessary to change the HTTP session management cookie name under these circumstances: Both the adapter and CLM use the same JSESSIONID cookie in the HTTP session management. CLM sometimes resets the cookie when you log in to CLM, which causes the adapter to lose its session in some linking scenarios.

For more information about cookies, see Cookie settings.
