Hi All,
Does anyone know how to set the secure flag on the PHP session cookie
in the load balancer (F5)?
Basically I am using the PHP session cookie, with no secure flag, in
the backend code but I need to send this cookie to the end-user
(browser) with the secure flag set. I would like to be able to set /
unset the secure flag on the cookie in the load balancer.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Jerry,
Thanks for your reply. So, I need to run the session-set-cookie-params
IN the load balancer and NOT in the backend server code?

The code I pointed you at is how you set the secure flag in your PHP
code. If you're not doing it in your PHP code, it's not a PHP question.
But I think you need to learn how a load balancer works. It does not
generally change flags in cookies, amongst other things. But that's
well off topic in a PHP newsgroup.
