PingFederate identifies sessions by their respective PF cookies. Some adapters, such as the HTML Form Adapter, also utilize the PF cookie to manage their adapter-sessions.
By default, the PF cookie is a session cookie. You may extend the lifetime of the PF cookie by making it a persistent cookie. Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are saved to disk, enabling the browser to reuse them when restarted.
Tip:
Alternatively, you can configure PingFederate to store authentication sessions externally and leverage them as users request protected resources after restarting their browsers. For more information, see Sessions.
