APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Log into the portal,  go to applications -> credentials so the
browser invokes the URL https://<portal-domain>/<provider-org>/
<catalog>/application/credentials

Check http request and response in the browser developer tools
and you will see, that the cookie value is also contained in the
X-Speed-Cache-Uid response header.

Pen tester recommends to not disclose the value of the session
cookie in other http headers.  It is not possible for the
customer to remove this header
