Troubleshooting
Problem
When a IBM® WebSphere® Application Server client user navigates across applications running in multiple Application Servers in the same domain, then cookie information might get overwritten causing session loss.
Cause
JSESSIONID value generated by one Application Server might not be known to other server and cookie information will be over-written.
Resolving The Problem
To fix this problem, rename the JSESSIONID cookie name from WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
In the administrative console:
- Go to Servers > Application Servers > Server_Name > Web Container Settings > Session management > Enable Cookies
- Change the value for session cookie name.
- Click OK.
- Save changes.
- Restart Application Server
- Regenerate plug-in configuration file.
- If running remotely, copy plug-in to remote server.
