Browser security

Coder offers two browser security features that you can choose to enable. These are available under Manage > Admin > Infrastructure.

HTTP Strict Transport Security

If you are serving Coder over HTTPS, we recommend enabling the Strict-Transport-Security Header option, which adds the HTTP Strict Transport Security header to responses. This browser feature requires future requests to occur over HTTPS.

Secure Cookie

The Secure Cookie option controls the secure property of cookies that Coder issues. This prevents browsers from sending sensitive cookies, such as those containing credentials, over unencrypted (HTTP) connections. We recommend enabling this setting if you are serving Coder over HTTPS.
