Enabling Autocookie Mode

  • Article

When you enable the Autocookie mode, AuthFilter always checks to see whether the browser has this anonymous cookie. If the anonymous cookie is not in the browser, then the filter redirects the user to the AutoCookie Form.

Autocookie mode enables Commerce Server 2002 to track anonymous users. If users with anonymous cookies register, Commerce Server can update their persistent cookies, and all the profile data gathered while users are anonymous is not lost. However, whether Commerce Server updates the persistent cookies depends on how you have developed your application.

To enable the Autocookie mode

  1. Expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Commerce Sites, and then click the site you want to administer.
  2. Expand Applications, right-click the name of the application that you want to work with, and then click Properties.
  3. In the Properties dialog box, on the General tab, select Autocookie, and then click OK.

  • After you change a property value in Commerce Server Manager, you must unload the application from memory on each Web server for the change to take effect. For instructions, see Unloading an Application from Memory.
