Specify client cookie support - Web clipping portlet

Configure the Web clipping portlet to propagate specific cookies from client-side through the portal to the origin server.

Web clipping portlets preserve cookies set on the server side, which means that when a Web clipping portlet fetches content from an origin server, it stores the cookies that the server sets (through the Set-Cookie HTTP header) and returns them on subsequent requests for more content. These cookies are not propagated to the client for security reasons. However, it may be necessary to propagate a client-side cookie through the portal to the origin server, such as a security cookie representing an identification.

Web clipping portlets can copy specific cookies from the client-portal conversation through to the portal-origin server conversation. Not all cookies are propagated; only cookies specified using a special configuration parameter are copied over.

For example, if you have cookies called "uid" and "password" to preserve through the Web clipping portlet, go to...

Administration | Portlet Management | Portlets | portlet | Configure portlet

...and set...

ClientCookies = uid,password
