Blueriq session & cookie
Blueriq Runtime and Publisher are using the HTTP session to store data before it is persisted. As stated by OWASP, the session timeout should be set as low as possible (https://owasp.org/www-community/Session_Timeout). Depending on your infrastructure it is possible to set the Secure flag of the session cookie (https://owasp.org/www-community/controls/SecureCookieAttribute). Both the session timeout and the secure flag can be configured by following the steps in the articles below:
By default the secure flag of the session cookie is enabled since release 15.13 and onwards. In earlier versions, the property was disabled by default.
Disabling the secure session cookie from Blueriq version 14.7 onwards can be done by configuring the following property:
application.properties
blueriq.session.cookie.secure=false
In older versions it was possible to enable the secure session cookie setting with an environment variable with the value:
BLUERIQ_SECURE_SESSION_COOKIE=true
This option is removed in Blueriq 15.
