Session cookies configuration

If Connect is deployed behind a load balancer that handles HTTPS connections only, session cookies should be configured as follows.

To configure session cookies for secure connections:

1. Open the <Connect installation dir>\WebServer\conf\web.xml file.

2. Locate the <session-config> node, and add the following in this node:

   Copy code

   <session-config>
   ...
   <cookie-config>
       <http-only>true</http-only>
       <secure>true</secure>
   </cookie-config>
   ...
   </session-config>

3. Save the file.
