Configuring a unique cookie name for a specific API ML instance

Role: system programmer

By default, in the API Gateway, the cookie name is apimlAuthenticationToken. To prevent overwriting of the default cookie name in the case of multiple Zowe instances, a unique cookie name can be configured for each instance.

Follow this procedure to configure a unique cookie name for the instances:

1. Open the zowe.yaml configuration file.

2. Find or add the property components.gateway.apiml.security.auth.uniqueCookie, and set it to true. A unique cookie name is generated as apimlAuthenticationToken.cookieIdentifier.

   Example:
   If this parameter is set to true, and the cookieIdentifier is 1, the name of the cookie transforms to apimlAuthenticationToken.1.
   If this property is not set to true, the cookie name remains apimlAuthenticationToken by default.

3. Restart Zowe.
