Issue/Introduction

When running 2 Cookie Providers Web Agents in an environment, is it possible for the Web Agent to check provider1.example.com and then provider2.example.com for active session?

Resolution

Multiple cookie providers cannot be configured in the same environment (1).

However, if the Web Agents are protecting different applications, setting different "Security Zones" can help to produce their own cookie providers that match the business needs (2).
