I am trying to run WebMail Pro on an internal machine behind a reverse proxy. It looks like the cookie domain is defaulting to the name of the host and I get a message stating "cookies are not enabled" when I attempt to access the site via the reverse proxy. Is there a way I can override the cookie domain being used?

Hello,
According to the developers, the error is shown when WebMail Pro is setting a test cookie and cannot access it. In the code, we're only setting cookie path, not the domain. My guess is that part needs to be adjusted on webserver configuration level. For example, in case of Nginx that can be done using proxy_cookie_domain setting.

I am using IIS10 with with UrlRewrite and Application Request Routing following this guidancehttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/setup-iis-with-url-rewrite-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-real-world/ba-p/846222.
I suspect that the cookies are scoped to the content serving machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps the answer from here would help:
Quote:
To preserve the Host Header run this from command line to update Machine/webroot/apphost config
Code:
| %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/proxy -preserveHostHeader:true /commit:apphost |

I was actually able to resolve this, however perhaps there is a more elegant solution that would allow me to do what I was originally attempting.
On my internal machine, the website was being served up at /webmail-pro/. Externally, I was serving it up at just the root of the site (ie: http://mail.mysite.com/) and reverse proxying the traffic back to the internal machine at /webmail-pro. This caused the cookies to not be set, since they as scoped to a specific folder path. I found that if I serve up the site externally at http://mail.mysite.com/webmail-pro it works just fine.
I saw that in the config file I can specify a cookie path; I tried setting that to /, but it did not work. I am glad I was able to get this to work, but wonder if it would be possible to do what I was originally intending and serve it up at the root of the site externally.
