Modify the Cookie Domain

You should specify the cookie domain in the following situations:

• When configuring virtual servers in different cookie domains, you should not specify a cookie domain (with an empty value) because the Web Agent uses an incoming host header value in the user request to determine the cookie domain.
• When configuring a forms authentication scheme, specify the cookie domain of the authentication scheme's server name. For example, if the cookie domain is .myorg.com, the server name would be server1.myorg.com. We recommend using lower case values.

  Note: For more information, see the Policy Server documentation.

To modify the cookie domain, set the following parameter:

CookieDomain

Defines the cookie domain of the Web Agent that you specified during the Web Agent installation. This must be a fully qualified domain name with at least two periods. For example, the .myorg.com cookie domain matches the following servers:

• w1.myorg.com
• w2.myorg.com
• w3.sales.myorg.com

All web servers in this domain can exchange cookies with a user’s browser. Servers in the same cookie domain use cookies to verify a user’s credentials.

Default: Empty

Example: .mycompany.com

Note: This value is case-sensitive.
