Description
we are using Nginx running as container but we see cookies/session ids generated are not secure. only few of them seems as secured but others not. we are trying to apply proxy_cookie_path / "/; HTTPOnly; Secure";
but we are not sure how to add ngx_http_proxy_module module. this is not available in github.
rather we have used set_cookie_flag HttpOnly secure; with module nginx_cookie_flag_module.
even then i can't see all cookies are secured.

To return cookies with the "Secure" flag set, consider instructing your backend to do so when returning Set-Cookie headers. The proxy module does not try to change cookie flags, it is only capable of changing domain and path using the proxy_cookie_domain and proxy_cookie_path directives.

I logged the same ticket in for Jenkins https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/SECURITY-1270
but they say that it indicating a bad configuration of your Jenkins instance. Please ask on the public users mailing lists or IRC for advice how to configure Jenkins or your reverse proxy properly.
Can you please help here what exactly required here? we used set_cookie_flag HttpOnly secure;
but not sure what else required from our end if both Nginx and Jenkins has no any issues.
