How to change the default session cookie name in OpenAM

In this article, I am going to sharing How to change the default session cookie name in OpenAM. Generally OpenAM the default session cookie name is iPlanetDirectoryPro. Its store session details and recommended that you change it for security reasons.

Post OpenAM 13 and AM

Navigate to: Configure > Server Defaults > Security > Cookie > Cookie Name and enter the new session cookie name.

You must restart the application server in which AM/OpenAM runs to apply these configuration changes.

If you are using any agents, you should update the same name in agent configuration.

Pre OpenAM 13.5

Navigate to: Configuration > Servers and Sites > Default Server Settings > Security > Cookie Name and enter the new session cookie name.
