Internet Explorer/Edge (not chromium) add additional SameSite=Lax when SameSite=None Secure


I have .NET MVC application loaded in iframe in Microsoft Dynamics page. Initially the user will open the home page. The home controller redirects to the login page:

return RedirectToAction("Index", "Login", new { returnUrl = redirectURL, error = errorMessage });

This was OK before this update KB4533002 Cumulative Update for .NET adding SameSite=Lax when SameSite is None or not specified. Then I added outbound rules in the web config to send SameSite=None; Secure.

<rewrite>
      <outboundRules>
        <clear />
        <rule name="Add SameSite" preCondition="No SameSite">
          <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Set_Cookie" pattern=".*" negate="false" />
          <action type="Rewrite" value="{R:0}; SameSite=None" />
        </rule>
        <rule name="Add Secure" preCondition="No Secure">
          <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Set_Cookie" pattern=".*" negate="false" />
          <action type="Rewrite" value="{R:0}; Secure" />
        </rule>
        <preConditions>
          <preCondition name="No SameSite">
            <add input="{RESPONSE_Set_Cookie}" pattern="." />
            <add input="{RESPONSE_Set_Cookie}" pattern="; SameSite=None" negate="true" />
          </preCondition>
          <preCondition name="No Secure">
            <add input="{RESPONSE_Set_Cookie}" pattern="." />
            <add input="{RESPONSE_Set_Cookie}" pattern="; Secure" negate="true" />
          </preCondition>
        </preConditions>
      </outboundRules>
    </rewrite>

This works in Chrome, Firefox and the latest Edge.

But Internet Explorer and Edge (not Chromium) are adding additional SameSite:

HttpOnly: true
path:/
SameSite: Lax
SameSite: None
Secure: true

Screenshot from Edge Developer Tools

Anyone with idea how to prevent this?


Solution

  • Thank you Yu Zhou. This was helpful, but instead of Unspecified I set it to None.

    <sessionState mode="SQLServer" sqlConnectionString="***" ... cookieless="UseCookies" cookieSameSite="None" />
    

    This with the outbound rules (SameSite=None; Secure) worked for me.
