Configuring Cookie and Hidden Field Usage
The Netscape Application Server is designed to work with web browsers in all modes of cookie and hidden-field security. There are three configurations you can set for the web connector plug-in to support the various security modes. These configurations are described in the following table:

Cookie Setting
Description
0
Cookies and hidden fields are passed back to the requesting web browser. This is the default setting.
1
Only hidden fields are passed back to the requesting web browser.
2
Only cookies are passed back to the requesting web browser.

To configure cookie and hidden field usage

  1. Open the registry editor by typing kregedit at the command prompt.

    2. The registry editor opens and displays the keys and values that apply to the Netscape Application Server. If the web server and Netscape Application Server are installed on separate machines, the registry editor opens and displays the keys and values that apply to the web connector plug-in.

    For Windows NT, use regedit and start at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\KIVA.

  2. Open the following key:

    3. KIVA\\Enterprise\\2.0\\HTTPAPI

  3. Double-click the NoCookie DWORD value.

    4. The DWORD editor dialog box appears.

  4. To disable cookies being passed to the web browser, change the value data to 1.

  5. To disable hidden fields being passed to the web browser, change the value data to 2.

  6. To enable both cookie and hidden fields, change the value data to 0.

  7. When finished, close the registry editor.
