PingAM 7.5.0

Change the session cookie name

By default, the session cookie name is iPlanetDirectoryPro.

You must change this value to something unique in your environment that does not give away its contents. Do not use names such as sessionCookie.

If you change the cookie name on a production system, you invalidate the sessions for any users who still had a valid cookie.

  1. In the AM admin UI, go to Configure > Server Defaults > Security > Cookie.

  2. Change the name in the Cookie Name field.

  3. Click Save Changes.

  4. Restart AM or the container where it runs.

Web agents need to know the name of the session cookie to authenticate with AM. Learn more in SSO token cookie name.
