             Summary: Support configurable session cookie and possibly change default
                 Key: KNOX-654
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-654
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Server
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Kevin Minder
             Fix For: Future


Knox currently uses JSESSIONID for its session cookie.  This is a very common cookie name and could possibly conflict with other services.  Consideration should be given to using something more specific like KNOXSESSION.  This is only one extra character BTW.  This should be configurable.  Some additional thought needs to be given regarding changing the default.  The Hive JDBC driver at least may have added special support for replaying the JSESSIONID to optimize its interaction with Knox.  Changing the default to be something different would require coordination there at a minimum.
