Question:
Is it possible to rename Siteminder Session and How?
Environment:

Answer:
Yes it is possible to rename the SMSESSION.
Using below ACO parameter, we can rename the SMSESSION.
SSOZoneName
Specifies the (case-sensitive) name of the single sign-on security zone a Web Agent supports. The value of this parameter is prepended to the name of the cookie a Web Agent creates. This helps you associate cookies with their respective cookie domains. When this parameter is not empty, SiteMinder generates cookies using the following convention:
ZonenameCookiename.
Default: Empty (uses SM as a zone name, which gives the cookies the following default names):
SMSESSION, SMIDENTITY, SMDATA, SMTRYNO, SMCHALLENGE, SMONDENIEDREDIR
Limits: Single-valued
Example: Setting the value to Z1 creates the following cookies:
Z1SESSION, Z1IDENTITY, Z1DATA, Z1TRYNO, Z1CHALLENGE, Z1ONDENIEDREDIR
