SharePoint FedAuth Cookies and Office Client Integration Behavior

Symptom:

SharePoint stores a persistent FedAuth cookie on the hard drives of authenticated users. I do not want the SharePoint server to use these persistent cookies.

Solution:

You can configure SharePoint so a persistent FedAuth cookie is not stored. However, disabling the persistent FedAuth cookie also disables the single-sign on function of Office Client Integration. Users who try to open files on the SharePoint server are challenged for their credentials.

Note: For more information about how to disable FedAuth cookies in SharePoint 2010, go to the technet blogs website, and then search for the following phrase:
