Cookie name in 5.1 SP8

Can anyone confirm that the session cookie naming has changed in SP8 -
          we're seeing a cookie called WeblogicSession-VBS which used to just be
          called WeblogicSession. Our web application has a context name of
          "VBS"...
          No one has changed the cookie name setting in the weblogic.properties
          file so it's not that...
          Cheers,
          -Dominic

Yes.
          Now the format is [WebLogicSession]-[WebAppName]
          I think this fix has introduced some other problems in a clustered
          environment.
          In the next Service Pack you will have a single sign-on for webapp's and
          the cookie format
          will again reverts back to WebLogicSession or whatever you specify in the
          properties file.

Cookie Name

I have a lot applications in WLS 7, and the CookieName isn't seted, so, weblogic assigns the default name for the generated cookies, this situation cause that the applications lost the sessions.
          For to resolve this problem, I has added in the weblogic.xml file the following instructions:
          <session-descriptor>
          <session-param>
          <param-name>CookieName</param-name>
          <param-value>HubControl_JSESSIONID</param-value>
          </session-param>
          </session-descriptor>
          so, each application have her own cookieName, but (here is the problem)
          With this configuration cause the following problem:
          In my application I have the sentences:
          xmlReply = api.SendAndReceive(xmlQuery);
          and when the XML is generated:
          HttpSession ses = request.getSession();
          ses.setAttribute("xmlReply", xmlReply);
          After that, in other JSP page the XML is taked and parsed:
          String xmlReplyExt = request.getParameter("xmlReply");
          InputSource source = new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlReply));
          DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
          parser.parse(source);
          Document doc = parser.getDocument();
          Finally, in this step the application throw a paser exception by:
          Error: â€œThe element type "FldDelim" must be terminated by the matching end-tagâ€
          And if I look into my XML:
          <InformationDesc>Recuperacion de arbol</InformationDesc>
          <FldDelim>;HubControl_JSESSIONID=D8hTJ06fV8yWwltkwdh1LdGpgGh45TXZXlRq2J6TdQ2sMph3K3Gh!1691281523?Tipo=RSS; ;01-01-1900 00:00:00; ;0;;;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1</Rows>
          <Rows>2;Booking ;2;BK_SATO ;15;BK_SATO_SB ;Sales Briefing;1;H;HTTP ;1;23-03-2013 17:30:48;-1;/booking/administration/briefSale1.jsp; ;01-01-1900 00:00:00;1.00.0000 ;0;;;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1</Rows>
          And the Tag FldDelim is not closed (this cause the exception).
          The question is:
          Why Weblogic Server 7 put in my XML the cookie session name and not close the XML?
          Why weblogic re-write my XML?

Yes.
          Now the format is [WebLogicSession]-[WebAppName]
          I think this fix has introduced some other problems in a clustered
          environment.

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

How can I remove the cookies name from the sqlite file? The cookie names and content are to be out of sync and cookies can not be removed.

Under Options-Privacy-Show Cookies I have a long list of entries. Remove Cookies or Remove All does not clear any cookie. Under Firefox profiles, I renamed the cookies.sqlite file and restarted Firefox. New cookies.sqlite file was created and the file size was reduced. Cookie content appears to be removed (i.e. site settings/logon info removed) but repeating the Options/Privacy/Show Cookies step still displays the older cookie names. I have tried all the different settings of clearing upon exit, clear recent history , etc but the result is the same.
The cookie name can not be deleted. Selecting a cookie and trying to Remove Cookie just causes the highlighted selection to move to the next cookie entry. Haven't used a sqlite manager to examine the file content so I'm unsure what is in the sqlite file.

Unfortunately, the option to remove that feature is not available.

Stickiness based on cookie name

on ace how do i configure cookie if i want it based on cookie name or set-cookie value. The server is generating cookie and I want to stick the server based on cookie value generated by server not ace
can someone give me an example?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA4_1_0/command/reference/sticky.html#wp1069181
You first need to know the name of the cookie used by the server.
You then create a sticky group to match that cookie name.
You associate your serverfarm to that group.
You link that group to your policymap.
Done.

Changing cookie name in Identity Server hangs login

I changed the cookie name under AMConfig.properties to something other than iPlanetDirectoryPro. After restarting Portal 6.0, the login just loops. It seems to be hung -- but don't know the reason.
Has anyone experienced this -- or could someone try this out real quick and see if they have the same problem?
The file I changed was /opt/SUNWam/lib/AMConfig.properties. The line is com.iplanet.am.cookie.name=iPlanetDirectoryPro
Just change it to com.iplanet.am.cookie.name=iPlanetDirectoryPro1
Do I need to change anything else for the login to work? Any insight would help.
John

You also need to change the comment name in the tooll and then 'use as
default' option ....

How to get Cookie Name and Value Using HttpGetterCallback - CE 7.3

Hi All,
We are migrating from Netweaver 7.0 to 7.3. We are facing a issue when migrating the custom login module from 7.0 to 7.3.
Since WebCallback is deprecated and not to be used in Netweaver 7.3, we are finding difficulties in getting the cookie name and value. Please find below our coding for getting the cookie value using HttpGetterCallback. We are not getting the cookie name and value, Kindly let us know if we are implementing the HttpGetterCallback correctly.
HttpGetterCallback httpGetCookieCallback = new HttpGetterCallback();
httpGetCookieCallback.setType(HttpCallback.COOKIE);
Callback] callbks = new Callback[ { httpGetUrlCallback, httpGetCookieCallback };
callbackHandler.handle(callbks);
requestUrl = (String) httpGetUrlCallback.getValue();
Cookie] cookies = (Cookie [) httpGetCookieCallback.getValue();
if (cookies != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
location.debugT("Cookies name " + cookies.getName()
+ " - value "
+ cookies.getValue());
Thanks and Regards,
Saravanan

Try This-
        Cookie cookiesArray[] = request.getCookies();
     Cookie currentCookie = null;
     String currentCookieName = "";
     String cookieValue = "dummycookie";
     int cookieArrayLength = cookiesArray.length;
     for (int i = 0; i < cookieArrayLength; i++) {
          currentCookie = cookiesArray<i>;
          currentCookieName = currentCookie.getName();
          cookieValue = currentCookie.getValue();

Set cookie name

I need to share some pages between 2 applications in the same workspace. Where should I set the same cookie name for each of these 2 applications? I couldn't find the place in Apex 3.2.0.00.27.
Thanks.
Andy

Hi,
Go edit your Authentication scheme:
Home>Application Builder>Application xxx>Shared Components>Authentication Schemes>Edit Authentication Scheme
There you can set cookie name attribute

Deployment plan cookie-name not applying

I have a ear containing multiple wars. The EAR has a weblogic-application.xml containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<weblogic-application xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:j2ee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90 http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/920/weblogic-application.xsd">
<application-param>
<param-name>webapp.encoding.default</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</application-param>
<session-descriptor id="ID000193">

<id-length>14</id-length>
<sharing-enabled>true</sharing-enabled>
<url-rewriting-enabled>false</url-rewriting-enabled>
</session-descriptor>
</weblogic-application>
That is the only place the cookie-name ZSESSIONID is mentioned in any config file in the ear.
I have a deployment plan that has in part:
<deployment-plan xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90 http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/weblogic-deployment-plan.xsd" global

</variable>
</variable-definition>
<module-override>

</module-descriptor>
<module-descriptor external="false">
<root-element>application</root-element>
<uri>META-INF/application.xml</uri>
</module-descriptor>
</module-override>
The change is not having any effect. I know that the plan is being applied since I see "References were found in deployment plan for module ..." in my startup and if I intentionally syntax error the file it fails to launch. This is Weblogic 10.0 MP1 / java 1.5. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this or what might cause it?

Multiple Portal Instances and Cookie Names

i have three portal instances (3.0.7) under the same database 8.1.7 on NT.
for example:
portal30 + portal30_sso
myportal + myportal_sso
testportal + testportal_sso
actually i cannot work on more than one portal at the same time. so, each time i want to work under a particular portal i make sure i am not logged in the other two.
if i assign a different COOKIE NAME in the
GATEWAY for each DAD it will fix my problem?
any suggestion?
tks!!

i will appreciate some answer to this posting.
tks!

Problem Changing session cookie name

Hi,
I am running Weblogic 5.1 service sp 6
I attempted to change the name of the weblogic
session cookie by modifying the following
parameter in weblogic.properties
weblogic.httpd.session.cookie.name=MyCookie
I also noticed that even if I hust uncomment the line
weblogic.httpd.session.cookie.name=WebLogicSession
my application seems to timeout within a few minutes.
However, when I do this I noticed that my session times out within 5
minutes.
I have my timeout set with
weblogic.httpd.session.timeoutSecs=14400
Thanks,
Bill

I have 2 diff app on one app server. If I change it for the app server, it will be applied to all applications that are running on this server. Right?
In the servlet specification is written :
The name of the session tracking cookie must be JSESSIONID.
My question is : Is there is a possible workaround to change session coockie name on application level, not on app server level?

Change session tracking cookie name

Hello,
Is there a way to change the default JSESSIONID cookie name to some thing different for session tracking? I've searched around but have not found anything on this subject.
Thanks.

Are the web applications deployed at '/' on each server or are they deployed using unique context paths such as /app1, /app2 etc?
Which of the following represents how you access each app through the reverse proxy server?
a) http://app1.foo.com/
http://app2.foo.com/
where app1.foo.com, app2.foo.com all map to the proxy server which then reverse proxies each URL to the corresponding backend server/app
or
b) http://foo.com/app1
http://foo.com/app2
where foo.com maps to the proxy server and the proxy server reverse proxies /app1 to one server, /app2 to another and so on

Change session ID cookie name

Is there a way in Tomcat to change the cookie name for the session ID at the application or the server level? Instead of having JSESSIONID, to change it to something else. If 2 Tomcat servers are running on the same machine and the user goes between the 2 servers in the same browser window (process), then the ID from Tomcat A's session gets overwritten with Tomcat B's session ID, so the original A session is lost when going back to A after having been at B.

URL rewriting and session cookies are two mutually exclusive ways of identifying the user.
What you want to do is find the current session of the user and use that one instead of creating a new session each time the user changes machines. This is a bit of a problem because each Tomcat server keeps a separate list of SessionIDs to compare to the user's SessionID.
You can kind of get around this problem by having the first server create a cookie that is visible to the entire domain, and then each server can fetch that particular cookie rather than looking for an explicit SessionID. For example...
Cookie cookie = new Cookie( "bsampieri.com", getUniqueString() );
cookie.setDomain( ".bsampieri.com" );
cookie.setMaxAge( -1 );
response.addCookie( cookie );And then each server checks for a cookie called "bsampieri.com", gets the identification string from that, and compares it with your list of "valid users" or shopping cart or whatever.

Configuring Session Cookie Name in Portal DAD

I have some questions about the proper way to specify the Session Cookie Name (PlsqlSessionCookieName) in the Portal DAD.
Here's a description of the environment: There are 2 portal servers (portal1, portal2) and 2 infrastructure servers (infra1, infra2). portal1 is tied directly to infra1, and portal2 is tied to infra2. A hardware load-balancer directs traffic from a URL "www.companyname.com" to either portal1 or portal2. The infrastructure databases are kept in synch via a nightly export/import. There is no clustering.
What should I set the Session Cookie Names to in the Portal DADs? Should they be left blank and thus default to the DAD name? If not, should they be set to identical (both to "portal") or unique values ("portal1" and "portal2")?
I have read the dads.README file, the notes in the Edit DAD page in Enterprise Manager, and some other documentation and I am confused as to the proper settings.
Thanks!
Brian

It looks like distinct session cookie names are needed.
Please refer to Oracle HTTP Server Administrator's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), Section 8 Understanding Modules. Seach for PlsqlSessionCookieName.
