Standard SiteMinder session cookies are non–persistent. A non–persistent cookie is one that is maintained only in the memory of the web browser. When users close their browser, the session cookie is destroyed, effectively logging them out.
In addition to maintaining the cookie in the web browser memory, you can configure SiteMinder to have the cookie written to the hard disk. Maintaining a SiteMinder cookie in the web browser and on hard disk is known as a persistent cookie. When using persistent cookies, users that close and reopen their browser remain logged in.
Note: For more information about configuring a persistent cookie, see the Web Agent Configuration Guide.
