# JWT Cookie Name

The name of the cookie that holds the OIDC JWT on the user's browser.

Before changing the name of this cookie, consider the following points:

* This cookie is only used by the agent and is never presented to AM.

* The cookie name must be unique in the cookies the user's browser receives. For example, do not set the JWT cookie name to `iPlanetDirectoryPro`, which is the default name of the AM session cookie.

If the agent does not find the cookie named by [JWT Cookie Name](org.forgerock.agents.jwt.cookie.name.html), authentication fails. The user can only access resources that are available through not-enforced rules.
