URL Cookie configuration

Configure creation and usage of Url Cookie.

The Url Cookie module setup works in two steps:

First, configure to rewrite of data returned from server.

Second, configure to fetch Url Cookie from incoming request.

Two different configurations of this module is needed.

Property	Description
Name	Name of the module.
Rewrite Content	This is used to decide what step to be performed. Rewrite Content = true, perform rewrite of data returned by server. Insert URL Cookie. Rewrite Content = false, fetch URL Cookie from incoming client request.
Cookie Name	Rewrite Content = true, Name of cookie to be inserted in URL. Rewrite Content = false, Cookie name is set to fetched cookie.
Cookie Name Prefix	Characters to identify a URL Cookie part in URL. Used in both rewrite and fetch.
Content Type	When Rewrite Content = true; This is used to decide what type of response to execute the rewrite for. Example: text/html
User Attribute	Active Directory attribute name for current user. If Attribute Pattern is used in Replace Policy, the value of this attribute is used for a pattern match.
Replace Policy	When Rewrite Content = true; All old values found in content data will be rewritten by the new value, this search is case-insensitive. Use {cookie} in new value field to insert URL Cookie. User Agent Pattern and Attribute Pattern can be used for each policy. If policy is defined with user agent "test", the rewrite will be performed on all user agents containing the word "test". Same for attribute value. Pattern is case-insensitive. Example: Old Value: server.corp.net/ews New Value: ews.server.net/ews/{cookie}
