APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When com.ibm.ws.security.addHttpOnlyAttributeToCookies is set as
  true, none of cookies, which WebSphere Application Server
  security code attached, is removed from header but just set a
  value as blank.
  This behavior might introduce some unwanted result if there is
  an application which checks presense of LTPAToken or WASReqURL
  cookies.
