Changing the HTTP session management cookie name

Change the HTTP session management cookie name if the Rational Adapter for HP ALM and CLM are installed in the same WebSphere Application Server or are behind the same reverse proxy, such as IHS.

About this task

You must change the HTTP session management cookie name if you install the adapter in the same WebSphere Application Server as CLM or the adapter is behind the same reverse proxy as CLM. This is because both the adapter and CLM use the same JSESSIONID cookie in the HTTP session management. CLM sometimes resets the cookie when you log in to CLM, which causes the adapter to lose its session in some linking scenarios.

For more information about cookies, see Cookie settings.

Procedure

  3. Select Cookies.
  4. Change the cookie name, for example, type LIASESSIONID.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Save the changes to the administrative configuration.
