Additional cookie security
Although the session cookie is the most important cookie to keep track of when securing AM, there are other points you must consider, such as:
-
Which cookie are you using for sticky load balancing?
By default, AM creates the
amlbcookie
cookie and sets it to the ID of the instance that first responded to a request. You should change the name of this cookie to something unique in your environment. -
Which other cookies, relevant for your environment, interact with AM or are sent to AM as part of a chain of requests?
The following table summarizes the tasks and information to review to manage cookie security that is not strictly related to the session cookie:
