(Doc ID 2114010.1)
Last updated on OCTOBER 11, 2023
Applies to:
Oracle Access Manager - Version 11.1.2.3.190209 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
The scope of this note is to provide a a high level explanation for the purpose of the "OAMAuthnHintCookie".
In an environment involving several WebGate s, when going from a protected resource (defined on one WebGate ) to a public protected resource defined on a second WebGate , the OAM_REMOTE_USER header is reset from the authenticated user value set during first resource access, to value of Anonymous, although a session already exists in the browser.
This cookies was introduced to avoid such a scenario and improved on in later releases of OAM. 11.1.2.3.190209 and greater, by providing a "hint" to all WebGate s within the domain to which that cookie is scoped.
