APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
WebSphere Adminconsole may fail with some reverse proxy configuration due to extra spaces in the cookie-http response. This used to be allowed, but the standard in the RFC has changed where spaces aren't allowed anymore.
Local fix
A current workaround seem to be possible with NGINX config to allow the cookie with spaces.
