Issue/Introduction


Running CA Access Gateway (SPS), when the SPS consumes the SAML response at the URL

  /affwebservices/public/saml2assertionconsumer

the SPS generates also a cookie with the root path "/".

How to set the cookie path to something else that root, like /<path>, for the SPS Federation Service?

 

Resolution


The SPS Federation services doesn't handle so much ACO parameters (1).

Set an Enhancement Request (Idea) (2), for the SPS Federation Services to handle ACO parameter such as:

  • CookiePath
  • MasterCookiePath

More, work around that limitation by setting an output filter in CA Access Gateway (SPS) (3).
