How CookiePathScope Settings Work

The following table shows how the value of the CookiePathScope parameter works with the following settings:

If the CookiePath value is:

And the CookiePathScope value is:

Then the following path is used:

/BasicA

0

/BasicA

/BasicA

1

/Path1

/BasicA

2

/Path1/Path2

/BasicA

3

/Path1/Path2/Path3

/BasicA

4

/Path1/Path2/Path3/Path4

/BasicA

5

/Path1/Path2/Path3/Path4

/BasicA

99

/Path1/Path2/Path3/Path4

/ or "undefined"

0

/

/ or "undefined"

1

/Path1

/ or "undefined"

2

/Path1/Path2

/ or "undefined"

3

/Path1/Path2/Path3

/ or "undefined"

4

/Path1/Path2/Path3/Path4

/ or "undefined"

5

/Path1/Path2/Path3/Path4

/ or "undefined"

99

/Path1/Path2/Path3/Path4

These settings also affect simple SSO. For example, if the value of the CookiePathScope is set to 1 or higher,users will get challenged for credentials for both /BasicA/Index.html and /BasicB/Index.html since the SESSION cookie with a path /BasicA will not be valid for /BasicB/Index.html request.
