Enable Remember Me Cookie

You can follow these steps to Enable Stepup Authentication on your server

  • Log into the WAS Administrative COnsole and go to Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure > Web security > Single sign-on (SSO).
    Verify that both Interoperability Mode and Web inbound security attribute propagation are enabled


  • Open the wkplc.properties file and set values for following properties

    # Defines the key which is used to encrypt the Cookie information
    # sua_user does not need to match to a real user e.g use myname as value
    # sua_serversecret_password will be used as the key
    sua_user=remembermeuser
    sua_serversecret_password=remembermepassword

    #Defines if Rememberme should be enbled during enable-stepup-authenticatoin
    #
    #
    enable_rememberme=true


  • Execute the enable-stepup-authentication Configuration task by executing this command

    ConfigEngine.bat enable-stepup-authentication -DWasUserid=wasadmin -DWasPassword=wasadmin


  • Once the configuration task is completed successfully. Restart the server, when server is up again, you should be able to see the Remember Me on this Computer checkbox on the Login page

    Enter your user name, password and check the Remember Me checkbox and click on Login. When you do that one persistent cookie would be written to your browser. My persistent cookie looks like this

    com.ibm.portal.RememberMe

  • Now logout or close the browser window and open it again and it will show you name of the user that was used for logging and saving remember me cookie.
