Configuring a custom cookie name for custom Footprint Claims

If you configured Claim forwarding in the Ambient Data Framework for custom Footprints, you may have chosen to configure a different cookie name than the default, TAFContext. If so, you must also configure that custom cookie name in the Experience Manager configuration.

Procedure

  1. Access your Content Manager server and navigate to the %TRIDION_HOME% (defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\).
  2. Navigate to the subfolder web\WebUI\Editors\SiteEdit\Configuration\ and in this location, open SiteEditEditor.config for editing.
  3. Under the footprints section, find the footprintscookienames section. In this section, you can configure an overall cookie name, and you can also configure a specific cookie name for a Publication Target, which overrides the overall cookie name.
  4. To configure an overall cookie name, in the footprintscookienames element, change the value of the default attribute to the custom cookie name you configured in the Ambient Data Framework configuration.
  5. Additionally, if you want to configure a specific cookie name for a specific Publication Target, add a footprintscookiename element inside the footprintscookienames element, and set its attributes as follows:
    publicationtargeturi
    Set to the Content Manager URI of the specific Publication Target.
    name
    Set to the custom cookie name you configured in the Ambient Data Framework configuration.
  6. Save and close SiteEditEditor.config and restart IIS.
