Configure the cookie for procurement

WebSphere Commerce uses a generated encrypted cookie to bind the session between the Punch-out setup phase where the requisitioning user's (if the user is new) authentication and registration is performed, and the catalog shopping phase where the procurement system launches a new browser window for the requisitioning user.

There are three configurable parameters related to this cookie:

• The maximum number of cookies present in the system at one time.

• The expiry time of the cookie.

• The cleanup interval time for the expired cookies.

To configure these parameters:

Procedure

1. Open the WebSphere Commerce configuration file.

2. Change the MessagingExtensions element to the following:

   <MessagingExtensions display="false">
   <SupplierCookie maxCount="1000"
   CleanInterval="5"
   ExpiryTime="100" />
   </MessagingExtensions>
   

3. Restart WebSphere Commerce.
   

Results

This information cannot be found in the Configuration Management GUI. You must manually edit the information in the instance configuration XML file and then restart the instance to apply the changes.
