SESCOOKIENOSEC (JANUS DEFINE parameter)

<section begin="desc" />Send the session cookie 'unsecured'.<section end="desc" />

SESCOOKIENOSEC is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port. See the List of JANUS DEFINE parameters.

Indicates that the cookie specified by SESCOOKIE will not be sent to the browser as a "secure" cookie. This makes it possible with some browsers in certain situations to use the SESCOOKIE cookie to have a logical session operate over multiple Janus Web Server ports.

It is probably a bad idea to transmit a session cookie on a non-SSL connection, because someone who spies the session cookie can use it to perform trusted logins on the Janus Web Server port (though such a person cannot determine any password associated with the session cookie).

The SESCOOKIENOSEC parameter is only available in Sirius Mods Version 6.0 and later.

SESCOOKIENOSEC is valid only for WEBSERV ports.
