Remember me properties | HCL Digital Experience
After you enable the Remember me cookie, you might need to adjust the settings to fit your business needs. You can use the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console to create new properties, if necessary, or update existing properties.
The following list shows all the properties that apply to the appropriate portal configuration service, namely WP RememberMeConfigService.
To access these properties, log in to WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console and then go to .
- rememberMeCookie.enable
- Use this property to enable and disable the Remember me cookie
function.Note: Use the provided configuration tasks because they automatically set certain values.
Default: false
Type: java.lang.Boolean
- j2eeAuthenticate
- Use this property to specify whether a user who presents a valid Remember me
cookie should be logged in to the protected portal area. If this option is enabled, the
user is not asked to provide any other proof of identity to enter the protected portal area. If the
requested resource has a higher authentication level requirement, then extra proof of identity is
required. Note: To prevent an insecure portal setup, this option is disregarded if step-up authentication is disabled. As a result, logging in to a protected portal area with a Remember me cookie is only allowed with an active step-up authentication engine, which forces a higher authentication level.
Default: false
Type: java.lang.Boolean
- name
- Use this property to specify the name of the Remember me cookie.
Default: com.ibm.portal.RememberMe
Type: java.lang.String
- path
- Use this property to specify the path for which a client browser should return the cookie. Using
this property, you can limit the visibility of the Remember me cookie to
certain hosts within your domain.
Default: /
Type: java.lang.String
- expiration
- Use this property to specify the expiration time of the Remember me
cookie. The assigned value is interpreted in seconds.
The default value is 0. Setting the value to -1 means that the Remember me cookie persists until the web browser session ends.
Default: 86400 (one day)
Type: java.lang.Integer
- secure
- Use this property to specify whether the Remember me cookie should be
returned only from a client browser to the portal server that uses a secure protocol.
Default: true
Type: java.lang.Boolean
- handler
- Use this property to specify the fully qualified name of the class that implements the
com.ibm.portal.auth.rememberme.spi.RememberMeCookieHandler SPI.
Default: com.ibm.wps.auth.rememberme.impl.RememberMeCookieHandlerImpl
Type: java.lang.String
- handler.properties.property_name
- Use properties with the handler.properties.property_name scheme to specify
properties that are passed on to the initialization method of the Remember me
cookie handler implementation. The properties that are received by the handler then have
the name property_name and the prefix handler.properties
is omitted.
Default: -
Type: java.lang.String
- handler.properties.encryptionAlg
- Use this property to specify the encryption algorithm that should be used to encrypt and decrypt
the Remember me cookie. Note: This property is specific to the default Remember me cookie handler.
Default: AES
Type: java.lang.String
- handler.properties.keyLength
- Use this property to specify the length of the key that should be used to encrypt and decrypt
the Remember me cookie. The assigned value is interpreted in bytes.
Note: This property is specific to the default Remember me cookie handler.
Default: 128
Type: java.lang.Integer
- handler.properties.saltLength
- Use this property to specify the length of the random salt that is part of the encrypted
Remember me cookie content. The assigned value is interpreted in bytes.
Note: This property is specific to the default Remember me cookie handler.
Default: 20
Type: java.lang.Integer
- handler.properties.internalExpiration
- Use this property to specify the lifetime of the Remember me cookie that
is part of the encrypted Remember me cookie content. Unlike the property
expiration, this property is used by the default Remember me cookie handler
to check the validity of a Remember me cookie that is received by portal.
Thus, it is transparent to the client. The assigned value is interpreted in seconds. Note: This property is specific to the default Remember me cookie handler.
Default: 86400 (one day)
Type: java.lang.Integer
- handler.properties.serverSecretAlias
- Use this property to specify the J2C authentication data alias that holds the passphrase that is
used to encrypt and decrypt the Remember me cookie. Note: This property is specific to the default Remember me cookie handler.
Default: SUAServerSecret
Type: java.lang.String
