COOKIEDOMAIN Setting

The domain name associated with a cookie consists of any of the following items:

• The domain name of the web server prefixed by a leading period (.)
• The fully qualified computer name of the web server (myserver.example.com)
• A blank

The fully qualified computer name or a blank name are equivalent.

Note: Because Internet Explorer removes the leading period before displaying the domain, we recommend testing various configurations in a staging environment to determine the correct settings.

COOKIEPATH Setting

The path associated with a cookie is typically a directory, but could be a file or another string. Examine the path shown in the cookie warning dialog of your web browser. If the path shown is not a forward slash (/), enter the correct value for the COOKIEPATH setting.
