Hi there, 

I have a CAS 4.1.X overlay, servlet API version 3 in POM.xml, and CAS 
running on tomcat7. 

I observed that TGC cookie is set to Secure, but NOT httpOnly.  Tomcat7 
default to HttpOnly for session cookie but it does not know about CAS TGC 
cookie, so the CAS web app's session cookie has HttpOnly set, but TGC 
cookie does not.

The source code in CookieRetrievingCookieGenerator.java shows, CAS would 
set to HttpOnly if  "RememberMe" is on.

Am I missing something, should not TGC cookie always have HttpOnly on all 
the times? This URL explains how to customize CAS to do that. But I am 
wondering why this would require customization.

Thx!

    public void addCookie(final HttpServletRequest request, final 
HttpServletResponse response, final String cookieValue) {
        final String theCookieValue = 
this.casCookieValueManager.buildCookieValue(cookieValue, request);

        if 
(!StringUtils.hasText(request.getParameter(RememberMeCredential.REQUEST_PARAMETER_REMEMBER_ME)))
 
{
            super.addCookie(response, theCookieValue);
        } else {
            final Cookie cookie = createCookie(theCookieValue);
            cookie.setMaxAge(this.rememberMeMaxAge);
            if (isCookieSecure()) {
                cookie.setSecure(true);
            }
            if (isCookieHttpOnly()) {
                final Method setHttpOnlyMethod = 
ReflectionUtils.findMethod(Cookie.class, "setHttpOnly", boolean.class);
                if(setHttpOnlyMethod != null) {
                    cookie.setHttpOnly(true);
                } else {
                    logger.debug("Cookie cannot be marked as HttpOnly; 
container is not using servlet 3.0.");
                }
            }
            response.addCookie(cookie);
        }
    }
