APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Multiple sessions are created if you have two or more remote rendering portlets on one Portal page and view them anonymously. This occurs in two scenarios: 1) The RRP is configured for LTPA authentication and you have enabled session handling using the WCMSessionService. 2) The RRP is configured for credential vault authentication and you have enabled session handling using the WCMSessionService. Note the same problem will occur if the RRP is configured for credential vault authentication and you have NOT enabled session handling using the WCMSessionService however since the WCMSessionService is required for session handling when using credential vault authentication this is not considered a defect.
Local fix
For scenario 1) Since the WCMSessionService is not needed for session handling when using LTPA authentication you can disable it to work around this issue. There is no workaround available for scenario 2).
Problem summary
The WCMSessionService was not designed to manage sessions for th anonymous user case.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
