I have two applications, mywebServer/app1 and mywebServer/app2 in one
commerce site.

How can i share profile/auth cookies between them?
What excactly do the two options for Cookie Path Correction mean?
"Type 1 to enable application-based correction, or type 2 to enable
filter-based correction."

I have tried both options, but it always gives me a cookie for "app1" -- i
would like it to be at "mywebServer" level - like the TestCookie.

thanks,

Hi Maina,

This is from the CS 2002 Docs - Is this not what you are trying to do?

Enabling Cookie Sharing across Applications

To share cookies across applications, you set the path property on the
cookie to the application path. For example, you would set the path to
/retail to share the cookie across all applications in the retail site. To
share cookies between applications that do not have the same virtual
directory name, you must set the path to the root "/" level.

To enable cookie sharing across applications in the same site:

1. Expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Commerce Sites, and then click
the site you want to administer.
2. Expand Applications, right-click the application you want to configure,
and then click Properties.
3. Uncheck the Set cookie path to application check box, and then click OK.
Note: This causes the host to set the path property to '/'.
4. Restart IIS using the net stop and net start commands. For instructions,
see Restarting IIS and Commerce Server Services.
Notes:
If you are using encryption, verify that the encryption key is the same on
both applications. It is recommended that you encrypt cookies because they
contain authentication tickets. For information about encrypting cookies,
see Summary of Cookie Features. For information about generating a new
encryption key, see Generating a New Cookie Encryption Key.
If the CookiePath_ApplicationScope property is selected, the path property
is set to the current application path.

Thanks,
