Create the NPS_Session_Linker ACO

SPS manages the SessionLinker configuration through an ACO. The SessionLinker ACO has the following syntax:

SessionLinker=Cookie=cookie_value;BLOT|NOBLOT;Orphantimeout=timeout_value;

Where

COOKIE=cookie name

Specifies the name of the cookie holding the foreign session. If cookie names may change, use an asterisk as a wildcard character.

BLOT|NOBLOT

(Optional) Specifies how the SessionLinker responds to invalid sessions. If you set the value of this parameter to BLOT, the user is granted access but the foreign session cookie is not passed through the web server to the target page. If you set the value of this parameter to NOBLOT, the foreign cookie is deleted from the request and the user is then redirected to the URL specified in the URL parameter. If you do not specify the URL in the URL parameter, the internal server error is displayed.

Default: BLOT

ORPHANTIMEOUT=seconds

Specifies the number of seconds that the SessionLinker maintains orphaned sessions.

Default: 86400 (24 hours)

Limits: Cannot be less than the maximum number of seconds that cookies from the third party (foreign) application are accepted.

To configure SPS to support SessionLinker, create the ACO named SessionLinker in one of the following ways:
