This is the name of the session cookie, by default PHPSESSID.

You can read about PHP functions like session_name() in the PHP documentation:

  https://php.net/session_name

or in French:

  https://php.net/fr/session_name

line is not in sample-config and I don't know what is the benefit of it.
According to PmWiki/AuthUser#sessions it's mainly dedicated for users
running a PmWiki Farm. Does that mean it is useless for single (or
distinct) site installation ?

If you have other PmWiki installations with different sets of users and passwords, you should use a distinct session name for each one.

If you have other PHP software on the same website storing session data with the keys 'authid' and 'authpw': using the same session name may cause these keys to be overwritten by it or by PmWiki and the user's permissions may be discarded (so she will have to log in again). In that case it would be sensible to use distinct session names.
