Specify UTF-8 encoding on cookie strings

Use UTF-8 when user names or credential attributes in the cookie are not encoded in the same code page as the one the WebSEAL server is using. By default, WebSEAL servers use UTF-8 encoding. When all WebSEAL servers in the WebSEAL deployment use UTF-8 encoding, leave this value at the default setting of "yes".

Edit the WebSEAL configuration file. Specify Whether or not WebSEAL should use UTF-8 encoding on strings within the failover cookies.

[failover]
use-utf8 = yes

Default is "yes".
