Hello all,

My company is currently looking into buying Webtrends Enterprise. We are really pushing the trial to the limits.

Currently we have a coldfusion server that gives users a unique session cookie containing 2 parameters. Problem is that Webtrends' Session Tracking only seems to support a single parametername. The solution could be in the advanced configuration manual, but it seems you have the same options there: only one parametername for cookies.

Using the entire cookie isn't an option, because during members' visits and cpc and affiliate visits the cookie can change, even though the 2 CF parameters stay the same.

Does anyone know a solution of workaround for this? It seems Webtrends is highly customizable, once you know exactly how it works, and I don't want to rule out possibilities without double checking. Thank you.

Can you change the cookie?

Apart from that, this sounds like a preprocessing script that copies the 2 cookie values into a URL parameter before processing, and uses the URL parameter for sessionizing (while suppressing it for page identification).
