Syntax

public String getSessionToken()

Parameters

String serverName

The name of a server configured for Single Sign-on. If the server name is not specified, the code must execute on a server configured for Single Sign-on.

Return value

String

The session token.

Usage

The token is unique for each user and is valid for the time specified in the Domino® Directory. The format of the token is consistent with the LtpaToken cookie used by a WebSphere® server when the SSO configuration of the Domino® server imports the Websphere server keys.

You can also get the token from the HTTP headers in a servlet with HttpServletRequest.getCookies().
