# Session Attribute Fetch Mode

Map the name of an AM session attribute specified in [Session Attribute Map](org.forgerock.agents.session.attribute.map.html) as follows:

* NONE: Do not map

* HTTP_HEADER: Map the to the name of an HTTP session header

* HTTP_COOKIE: Map to the name of an HTTP cookie

* REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE: Map to the name of an HTTP session attribute

When the value is `HTTP_COOKIE`, [Cookie Reset](org.forgerock.agents.cookie.reset.enabled.html) is automatically set to `true`. Before redirecting the client for login, and when the client logs out, the agent resets profile and session attributes cookies, and cookies in the [Reset Cookie List](org.forgerock.agents.cookie.reset.name.list.html).
