Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for pointing out the relevant documentation. The proposed
settings seem to would address the concern. I'll have the product team
check their Django configuration.

Thank you,

Title:
  Horizon does not set Secure Attribute in cookies

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Version: 2012.2

  The cookies used by Horizon do not have the Secure Attribute set, which
allows them to be sent over unencrypted requests. This could result in
stolen sessions, as it is trivial to force the browser to make unencrypted
requests. For more information see
