PQ86355: COOKIE NAME ADMIN CONSOLE HELP

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
The help in section "6.6.11.0: Session Manager properties" is
not accurate.  The help contains the following sentance:
"The name must be JSESSIONID as specified in the Servlet 2.2
API ".

It is true that the Servlet 2.2 specification states this but
WebSphere allows the Cookie Name to be modified.  This
user documentation needs to be updated to indicate that
WebSphere allows the name to be changed.

One way to get to this documentation is from the WebSphere
Admin Console.  Select the Application Server -> from the panel
on the right hand side select "Session Manager Service" -> Click
"Edit Properties" button -> From the Session Manager Service
panel click on the "Help" button.  See the "Cookie Name"
section in the in the help.
