Title: Location of cam_passport cookie in our Cognos Environment?
Post by: dwsupport1 on 27 Feb 2017 08:53:35 PM
How to find out Location of cam_passport cookie in our Cognos Environment?
I read in some KB Articles that its by default the root location
So how do we find that out? What is root location of our Environment?

For Example our environment URL is
http://mycognosserver.com/ibmcognos

So is Cam_Passport Cookie on path /ibmcognos?

What's the end goal you're trying to accomplish? You may be asking the wrong questions.

cam_passport is a cookie, and so it's stored on client machines. It's location is where the browser dictates, and each browser stores it differently. It's not in your Cognos environment.

You can find out the value of your personal cam_passport (assuming you're logged into Cognos from that browser), by typing the following into your browser session:

javascript:document.cookie

Do you need it for SDK? Are you setting up HTTPOnly?
