We have a small app that sends jobs to FME Server 2018, it worked in FME server 2016, but now that we upgraded to 2018, we are getting a failure when it tries to use the upload service, basically the app says FME failed to provide a cookie.

 

When I look at the Data Upload Service documentation, under Reponses Elements, I see this, which is what I guess the cookie is about.

A session identifier that is always included in each data upload response as an HTTP cookie as well as in the body of the response.

 

looking at the Service logs in FME Server 2018, I see this:

I see this in the tomcat logs:

When I look, I do see that the file is successfully uploaded, but the process fails, I assume because FME Server or tomcat, is failing to provide the cookie.

 

So this sure looks like some sort of permission issue, the user account in FME Server that generated the token,, I have tried with various roles, including giving it Admin, but that did not help

 

Any thoughts on what permissions may be lacking and where, assuming it is a permission issue ?
