Cookies, Tomcat

1. How to enable secure cookies in an application.  Include below config in web.xml at the top level.

  <session-config>
    <cookie-config>
      <http-only>true</http-only>
      <secure>true</secure>
    </cookie-config>
  </session-config>


Once you do that , you will have request server to set secure cookies or http only cookies and it will set those . Without this config , even if you request server to set secure cookies or http only cookies , it wont do it.  This is true at least for Tomcat.

2. Some versions of  Tomcat remove trailing =  in cookies. 

To stop Tomcat from removing the trailing "="  signs, start Tomcat with  "-Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.ALLOW_EQUALS_IN_VALUE=true"  option.eds

DBeaver

Recently I used this tool for connecting to Hive via Knox gateway.  Good thing about this tool is that it automatically downloads the driver and configures it. That  is a pain in tools like Squirrel.  It also makes a JDBC connection to Hive.  Below is how the HOST and JDBC URL settings look like : HOST : <KNOX_HOST>:8443/;ssl=true;transportMode=http;httpPath=gateway/<topology>/hive JDBC URL :  jdbc:hive2://<KNOX_HOST>:8443/;ssl=true;transportMode=http;httpPath=gateway/<topology>/hive What I noticed on my setup was that if you keep the default port which 10000 and you set it to 8443 , it does not work. So you have to keep it blank.  That may be specific to my setup. Also you might notice that ssl=true but there are  no  sslTrustStore= < Path to the “.jks” file in the NiFi node > ;trustStorePassword= < TrustStore Password>  parameters. The reason is if you import the gateway cert  into the trus...
