LAPI Cookie support is not for Web SSO. Rather, it is only for environments using Livelink authentication. The cookie value is part of the API message and not the transport layer. That is, the cookie value is NOT used to set an HTTP header when tunneling LAPI. In fact, the cookie support predates the tunneling capability of LAPI, thus explaining why it doesn't support Web SSO. LAPI's current cookie support was intended for applets/ActiveX controls running in the browser that are launced from Livelink. In this scenario, the applet/ActiveX control has access to the Livelink Cookie and can use that to authenticate. This is how the old style Livelink Explore product (which was an ActiveX control) worked.We are looking at supporting Web SSO cookies in the future with LAPI HTTP/HTTPS tunneling. I cannot comment on what release such functionality would be available.

Message from chris meyer via eLinkYou can use the Livelink authentication cookie to build your LAPI session. This is done with the following constructor (Java): LLSession session = new LLSession(servername, port, cookie);where the servername is the IP address or DNS name of your Livelink server, port is the LAPI port to connect to, and cookie is the authentication cookie set by Livelink.cheers, chriseLink Discussion: LAPI Discussion wrote:>How to use Cookies in LAPI>Posted by SATCOM01User1 on 09/29/2003 09:12 PM>>Hi,>> Could you please help me out with a sample how to use Cookies in LAPI.
