Description

Hi,
I need to use Cookie Authentication for my APIs, but the authentication cookie name's in my app changes every time you log in (only the cookie name prefix is known: shibsession).

I was looking for a way to specify cookies name pattern instead of the exact name. Is there such a feature?
