Secure Site Recommendations
---------------------------
When implementing Horizon for public usage, with the website served through
HTTPS, it is recommended that the following settings are applied.
To help protect the session cookies from `cross-site scripting`_, add the
following to ``local_settings.py`` :
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = True
Note that the CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE option is only available from Django 1.4. It
does no harm to have the setting in earlier versions, but it does not take effect.
You can also disable `browser autocompletion`_ for the authentication form by
changing the ``password_autocomplete`` attribute to ``off`` in ``horizon/conf/default.py``
