Hi ,

I am trying to add server side cookie for my custom plugin, this is the code but  
I am not able to get the server object from http\_server, I get this module not found error when i try to import HttpServiceSetup

import {  
PluginInitializerContext,  
HttpServiceSetup,  
CoreStart,  
Plugin,  
RequestHandlerContext,

Logger,  
IRouter  
} from '../../../src/core/server'

this line fails  
const { createCookieSessionStorageFactory } = HttpServiceSetup['createCookieSessionStorageFactory'];

const sessionStorageFactory = await createCookieSessionStorageFactory(cookieOptions);

even this fails  
//const { createCookieSessionStorageFactory } = await server.setup(config);

is there a way to get this server object

Thanks  
Prathibha

Thanks  
Prathibha

Hi @Prathibha_Y ,

Can you please explain what exactly you're trying to achieve? `createCookieSessionStorageFactory` is solely used by the Kibana own Security plugin right now, so you may need to use another approach depending on your use case.

Best,  
Oleg

Hi

I am trying to create a session cookie on server side, which will be used to compare with incoming requests, if same user, n other parameters are same then i will not do authorisation again.

Authorisation is done inside our application, based on this cookie n incoming request..

Prev in 7.0 we used hapi auth cookie, but with new platform unsure what to do.. Pls guide me with some example
