The thing is it is actually secure. The Tomcat servers are behind the load balancers and using the dedicated hardware engines to perform the SSL. Granted Tomcat does not know this. This exact configuration is why it would make sense to be able to set the jsessionid to secure. Why else would Tomcat have this setting in the server.xml back in version 3.3? I am assuming that there is no such override in 5.0 or later.

The reason is its rather nonsensical for any webserver to set a cookie as secure when the request is not secure. -Tim Biagi, Bill (Contractor) wrote: > I've got a set of Cisco load balancers doing the SSL so Tomcat does not > know that these sessions are SSL.
