Hi, Thanks for the reply.
We tried the settings on multiple machines. And found that the same configuration machines gave different results. We are getting multiple jsessionid cookies being created. In our application, we have a multi tenant application. For each tenant we have an nginx running calling the application url. URL being hit on browser is like *<TENANAT>.myapp.com <http://myapp.com>* We are able to see 2 JSESSIONID cookies being generated for this call on some machines. 1. domain: /myapp which is having secure flag. 2. domain: /myapp/ which is NOT having secure flag. Strangely, in most machines, we are finding the second cookie being generated but the first cookie not generated. Only when we saw on one of the machines, the first cookie, we found that the secure jsessionid cookie being generated on that particular environment. The environment having 2 cookies and the one with one cookie are identical. Can you please help me fix the creation of the second cookie and also how to ensure that the first cookie is generated in all environments?
