Deleting Attribute Cookies for Cookieless Federation

To support environments that do not want to exchange cookies, the SPS maps the SiteMinder session cookies to a cookieless session scheme and deletes the cookies from the response. However, the attribute cookies are not mapped and remain in the response.

The FWS application processes the federation requests and inserts attribute cookies and SiteMinder-created session cookies in its responses. The responses are forwarded to the SPS.

The SPS can be configured to delete the attribute cookies inserted by the FWS application.

To configure the SPS to delete session and attribute cookies

  1. Open server.conf file in a text editor.

    The file is located in the directory sps_home/secure-proxy/proxy-engine/conf.

  2. Add the following code to the virtual host section for the virtual host that is serving the FWS.

    deleteallcookiesforfed="yes"

  3. Save the file.
  4. Restart the SPS.
