One of the disadvantages of a traditional SiteMinder cookie-based session scheme is the size of the cookies. When the amount of data transferred with each request increases, the cost of access for certain types of devices such as wireless phones increases.
A mini-cookie is a small cookie, approximately 10 bytes in size that contains a token which can be used to reference session information in SiteMinder in-memory session store. The mini-cookie is a fraction of the size of a standard SiteMinder cookie, and provides an alternative for standard SiteMinder cookies.
