Problem summary


    

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Users of WebSphere eXtreme Scale for HTTP   *
*                  session replication for web applications    *
*                  who use secure cookies that are             *
*                  restricted to HTTPS communication.          *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The eXtreme Scale cookies set on the    *
*                      client browser are not secure.          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If secure cookies are configured, only the JSESSIONID cookie
is secure.  ‚  The IBMID and IBMSessionHandle cookies are still
marked as not secure.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The HTTP session client component has been updated to secure
the IBMID and IBMSessionHandle cookies when the JSESSIONID
cookie is already secure.
