Specify the LTPA cookie name for junctions

We can configure the name of the cookie that contains the LTPA token for junctioned web servers. WebSphere Application Server and WebSEAL use the same default values for the LTPA cookie name:

We can use the entry jct-ltpa-cookie-name in the [ltpa] stanza to configure the name of the LTPA cookies sent from WebSEAL across junctions on the backend. We can configure this item globally or on a per junction basis. To set a cookie name for WebSEAL to use across all junctions, configure the entry in the [ltpa] stanza. For example:

To set a cookie name specific to a particular junction, configure the entry in an [ltpa:/jct] stanza.

If we use a custom LTPA cookie name in WebSEAL, also configure the same cookie name in WebSphere to achieve single sign-on. If we do not configure the jct-ltpa-cookie-name entry, WebSEAL uses the default cookie name.
