The VIDUSR cookie is not set as secure and HttpOnly
Problem
* The VIDUSR cookie sent by the administration port (8090) is not set as secure and HttpOnly, causing it to be flagged by a security auditor.
Resolution
-- This can be fixed by editing the Protect Management Interfaces policy on your admin node manager(s) as follows:
- Open the node manager's configuration in policy studio /apigateway/conf/fed/configs.xml
- Browse to the policy "Protect Management Interfaces"
- Open the filter "Create Session"
- Switch on the settings "Session sent over SSL only" and "HTTP Only cookie"
- Restart the node manager
- Connect to 8090 and confirm that the cookie is now sent correctly.
