Customizing prefix for cookies and session IDs

By default, the Ambient Data Framework generates tracking IDs and session IDs that consist of the string tridion followed by a unique identifier string. You can change tridion to a string of your choice to help you trace the origin of a cookie or session ID to its originating data center. You can set a custom prefix for these IDs.

Procedure

  1. Open cd_ambient_conf.xml for editing.
  2. Before the <Cartridges> element, add an <InstanceID> element and set its contents to the prefix you want to use:
    <InstanceID>myPrefix</InstanceID>
  3. Save and close cd_ambient_conf.xml.
