shared-domain-cookie

Use the shared-domain-cookie stanza entry to share a cookie-based session across all standard and virtual host junctions on a single WebSEAL instance.

shared-domain-cookie = {yes | no}

Description

Enables a cookie-based session to be shared across all standard and virtual host junctions on a single WebSEAL instance. To share a session in this manner, the WebSEAL instance must store a single session key as an independent value in a multi-valued domain cookie. The multi-valued domain cookie must be indexed by the instance name.

The domain cookie itself is shared across all participating WebSEAL instances, but the session values are specific to each instance.

If WebSEAL exists in an environment where the distributed session cache already handles single sign-on across domains, do not enable this configuration item.

Options

yes	Enables single sign-on across virtual host junctions in the same WebSEAL instance.
no	Disables single sign-on across virtual host junctions in WebSEAL.

Usage:

This stanza entry is optional.

Default: no

Example:

shared-domain-cookie = yes
