Example: HTTP cookie retrieval

Use this file to see an example of how to retrieve a cookie from an HTTP request, decode the cookie so that it is back to your original bytes, and create your custom SingleSignonToken object from the bytes. This example shows how to complete these steps from a login module. However, you also can complete these steps using a servlet.

For information on how to implement a custom SingleSignonToken, see Implementing a custom SingleSignonToken.
