'Cloudfront removes Set-Cookie header from response to viewer
I have a NextJs application running in an AWS EC2 instance. The application includes static pages and APIs for login. Now, I am trying to setup AWS Cloudfront distribution. However, I am facing a challenge because CloudFront removes the Set-Cookie header from the login API Response and it's breaking the login functionality.
Below is the reference of the cache behavior setup in which I have disabled caching for the /api/* path.
| Precedence | Path pattern | Cache policy name |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | /api/* | Managed-CachingDisabled |
| 1 | Default (*) | Managed-CachingOptimized |
After referring AWS docs https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Cookies.html, I have noticed that it's possible to forward cookies from viewer to origin.
But, it's still not clear to me,
- How to forward the
Set-Cookieheader from the origin response to viewer. - Why CloudFront removes the
Set-Cookie headerfor the path/api/*in which caching has been disabled.
Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.
