Configuring which accounts can send cookies with Claims

Configure the Web service that generates tokens to allow cookie forwarding for one, some or all user accounts.

Procedure

  1. On the machine that runs the Web service that generates authentication tokens, access its configuration directory : either WEB-INF/classes for a Java Web application or bin\config for a .NET Web application.
  2. Open the Ambient Data Framework configuration file, cd_ambient_conf.xml.
  3. Find the account or accounts (Account section(s)) for which you want to allow cookie forwarding.
  4. Inside each such Account section, in the Metadata section, add a new Param element with its Name attribute set to AllowedCookieForwarding and its Value attribute set to true.

    This should result in the following type of section:

    <Account Id="MyAccount" Password="encrypted:fhS6whphjS2G2rG6aI6T/g==">
    	<Metadata>
    		...other named parameters...
    		<Param Name="AllowedCookieForwarding" Value="true" />
    	</Metadata>
    </Account>
  5. Save and close cd_ambient_conf.xml.
