Turn on the HttpOnly flag for session cookies within Oracle WebLogic Server for the Oracle Empirica Signal software

Using the HttpOnly flag when generating a cookie helps mitigate the risk of a client-side script accessing the protected cookie.

Perform these steps on the application server.

To turn on the HttpOnly flag for session cookies:

  1. Navigate to the <INSTALL_DIR>/Signal/WEB-INF directory.
  2. Open the weblogic.xml file, and locate the <session-descriptor> section.
  3. If the section does not contain the following element, add the element:
    <wls:cookie-http-only>true</wls:cookie-http-only>
