Web Client 10

Summary

By default, Laserfiche Web Client 10.4.2 Update 1 is configured to require secure cookies. By extension, this requires configuring the web client for SSL/TLS. If you must continue to use HTTP communication, you can manually modify the web client web.config file to turn off secure cookies.

To turn off secure cookies

  1. Open the web client web.config file in a text editor. By default, the file is located at: C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Web Access\Web Files\web.config.
  2. Locate the following line within the <system.web> block around line 23:
    <httpCookies requireSSL="true"/>
  3. Delete the line.
  4. Save the change to web.config.

Be aware that if you turn off secure cookies and you are using Google Chrome version 80 or later, you may not be able to sign out of the web client or authenticate when the web client is embedded in an iframe.
