Introduction
When using Siteminder Web Agent with cookie provider you might see sometimes the SMSESSION logged in the Apache access.log or in the IIS logs.
For example :

Instructions
This functionality will be removed officially in a future release. Dev fix is available for R12.52 SP1 CR06 if you need to remove it from the logs.
After Fix, the logs will look like :
10.10.10.1 - - [05/Oct/2016:03:22:01 -0400] "GET /SmMakeCookie.ccc?SMSESSION=data_suppressed&PERSIST=0&TARGET=-SM-HTTP%3a%2f%2fmyserver%2eca%2ecom%2ftest2%2ftest%2ehtml HTTP/1.1" 302 228
