New Property Prevents Sessions From Being Destroyed After Session Upgrade

For a Distributed Authentication UI server deployment, Access Manager 7.1 patch 3 (CR 6700722) includes the new com.sun.identity.authentication.destroySessionAfterUpgrade property to prevent old sessions from being destroyed after a session upgrade. Values for this property can be:

• true (default): Old sessions are destroyed immediately after a session upgrade.

• false: Old sessions are not destroyed after a session upgrade.

Note. This new property applies only to a Distributed Authentication UI server and not to Access Manager 7.1 server.

To prevent sessions from being destroyed after a session upgrade:

1. Add this new property with a value of false in the AMConfig.properties file. For example:

   com.sun.identity.authentication.destroySessionAfterUpgrade=false

2. Restart the Distributed Authentication UI server.
