# Rename the Session Cookie

By default, Find uses the session cookie `FINDSESSIONID` to store session details. You can optionally rename the session cookie, for example if you want to run multiple instances of Find on the same domain and keep the session details separate.

To rename the session cookie

- Start Find with the Java run command, and include the following arguments:

      -Dorg.apache.catalina.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME=MYNEWSESSIONNAME

  where `MYNEWSESSIONNAME` is the new session cookie that you want to use.

  For example:

      java -Dorg.apache.catalina.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME=FIND1SESSIONID -Didol.find.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=[port] -jar find.war -uriEncoding utf-8

If you run Find as a service on Windows, you can also add the same arguments to the `find.xml` file.

If you run Find as a service on Linux, you can add the argument to the existing arguments variable in `find.sh` for SysV, or `find.conf` for Upstart.

When you modify the Find configuration by modifying the XML file or start scripts, you must restart Find to apply your configuration changes.

For more information on installing and running Find as a service on Windows or Linux, see Install Find.
