Help with securing "route" cookie

[Gerard Mattison]

Hello all,

I am using nginx with nginx-sticky-module-ng for distributing the load
among servers per specific user session for my java application.

One of the issue I having is that when I ran a vulnerability assessment,
the "route" cookie is coming up as not secure.

Attached image shows the issue.

I appreciate any can help me on how to make the route cookie secure.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Gerard
