I need help, since I am new to websphere. We have 2 applications, deployed in the same websphere server. The problem is that we cannot run those 2 applications simultaneously. Running the 2nd application will immediately expire the 1st application (the 2nd application will also expire after a few seconds) .
Here are the series of events
Login to the 1st application http: //stackoverflow:8080/Application1URL/
Leave the application 1 gui running (you must be logged into the application).
Open another browser tab. Run the 2nd application on the new tab: http: //stackoverflow:8080/Application2URL/
You will notice that the application1 session will immediately expire (“Session Expired. Please login again.”). This happens as soon as the application2 login screen appears
If you try to login back into application1 you will get a message saying the user is already logged in (“User is already logged in. Do you want to force logout the other session ?”)
Kindly suggest any ideas to debug the issue.
Your applications probably invalidate sessions for each other. For example they are looking for some attribute in the session and if it is not found they invalidate session. Since same sessionId is shared by default across applications, once the second app invalidate the session the id is changed and first app cannot find its session any more.
Go to one of your applications and change session cookie name to something different.
Enterprise Applications > yourApp > Session managementOverride session management and click Apply and SaveEnable cookies link, and change default cookie name to something custom. Click OK and Save changesYour applications shouldn't logout each other anymore.
