Author Anonymous pages and cookies in WPS 5.1

2006-03-14, 5:57 pm

Hi.
Can someone tell me if this is correct : in the anonymous pages of Virtual Portals, since the user doesn't need to authenticate, there is no cookie created by Websphere ?

I guess you mean no session cookie (JSESSIONID) and this is true as there is no session for anonymous users by default.

You can switch public session to be true in NavigationService.properties and this will create session for public users and the cookie will be created.

In general cookies are not enabled in wps (except for jsessionid), so you can't set or get cookies inside portlets -this was a shock for me- but it is true and documented as security reasons.
