Hi Sergey,

 

You can change the cookie name to JIRASESSIONID by updating the 'sessionCookieName' <JIRA_INSTALL>\conf\context.xml. Example:

<Context sessionCookieName="JIRASESSIONID">

<!-- Default set of monitored resources. If one of these changes, the -->
<!-- web application will be reloaded. -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts -->
<!--
<Manager pathname="" />
-->
</Context>

 Save the changes and restart JIRA.

 

Regards,
Kelly
