sessions not working with safari browser using ACE and redis (connect-redis)

[Lutz Bliska]

We are still at the same project at described here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/50367209

As @James Hazelwood suggest us, we did setup the cache service redis (connect-redis).

Redis works fine with FF and Chrome Browser but it doesn't work with safari.

The problem is that the session vars are getting lost after the first route.

e.g.:

1. request to the default endpoint (configured in the atlassian-connect.json) and the session looks like this:
   
   

   Session {
     cookie: 
      { path: '/',
        _expires: 2017-02-24T17:11:21.686Z,
        originalMaxAge: 1800000,
        httpOnly: true,
        secure: true },
     URL: 'https://test.net' }

2. After posting a from to a other endpoint (/login) the session object looks like that:
   
   

   Session {
     cookie: 
      { path: '/',
        _expires: 2017-02-24T17:11:21.343Z,
        originalMaxAge: 1800000,
        httpOnly: true,
        secure: true } }

So the variable URL gets lost.

Any ideas why ?

Thank you for your support

I believe that using Cookies inside iFrames for Safari is notoriously hard. This explains the issue briefly: https://github.com/vitr/safari-cookie-in-iframe

I would recommend storing your state with the page in another manner. Otherwise you should be able to find workarounds for this issue. Cheers.
