Have been searching for ways to make the cookies created for our site through DNN use the secure flag, but to no avail.

Is there a setting in DNN or simple code that I can add (tried the mycookie.secure = true) that will accomplish this so cookies are not transmitted in clear text?  Also, is there any reason they would not show up as secure when client and server are on the same machine?

Thanks,
Scott

what cookies do you mean - if they're one's your creating just set the secure property to true. If it's the site auth cookies, you can use requireSSL on the forms auth tag. If it's for all cookies you can use the same for the httpCookie node - see http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/1518/how-to-ensure-that-cookies-are-always-sent-via-ssl-when-using-asp-net-on-iis-7-5

 Mainly we want to secure the auth cookies.  I was researching where to set this earlier today before I posted.  Unfortunately, was not able to find it.  I even tried adding myCookie.secure = true, though that did not work either.

Just add requireSSL=true to the following line, as you can see, and will test some more.
<forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" requireSSL="true" timeout="600" cookieless="UseCookies" path="/" />

Thanks for your reply,

Scott

In testing, after adding the above to the auth forms tag, the host menu stops working. Any clues as to why that would happen? I can remove the requireSSL setting, delete cookies, restart, and the host menu starts working again.

no idea i'm afraid, that is a setup that is used by a lot of military/government users and none of them have had issues - please make sure you've got a valid SSL certificate (you might want to check what the requests are in a http proxy such as fiddler)
