Configure shared sessions with Microsoft Office applications

We can configure WebSEAL to use the temporary session cache so that both Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office products can reference the same user session.

A request to the /pkmstempsession management page creates a temporary session cookie. Both Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office products can access this session cookie.

We can use Ajax requests to automatically request this management page and trigger the creation of a persistent session cookie. Through this process, we can achieve session sharing with applications that are accessed through Internet Explorer.

• Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016 server
  We can modify the JavaScript on the Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016 server so that Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office can share the same session when accessing a SharePoint resource.
