Specify the failover cookie lifetime

Specify the failover cookie lifetime value in the WebSEAL configuration file.

Edit the WebSEAL configuration file. Specify the valid lifetime (in minutes) for the failover cookie. The default lifetime is 60 minutes. For example:

[failover]
failover-cookie-lifetime = 60 

NOTE: WebSEAL does not use the expires attribute that is contained in a standard HTTP failover cookie. Instead it uses an expiration value that is contained within the token itself. As a result, the lifetime of the cookie expires when the session ends, such as exiting the browser, or when the token expires.
