SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a server that is running Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Update 1.
  • You publish a web application through UAG 2010 by using the Other Web Application (portal host name) template.
  • When you browse to this web application, it sets a domain cookie. The domain that is specified for this cookie is the same as the domain of the UAG portal public host name, as in the following example:
    • UAG portal public host name: portal.contoso.com
    • Cookie domain, in the domain attribute of the Set-Cookie header: domain=.contoso.com
In this scenario, when UAG forwards the HTTP response of the back-end web server to the client, UAG changes the name of cookie by using host address translation (HAT).
