Due to the change made to set the SameSite=None and Secure cookie attributes, the SRS session cookie returned to client applications will only be usable if an HTTPS session is used between the client application and SRS. The Secure attribute means that a client should discard the cookie if it is received on an HTTP session.
Workaround: If SRS is running in HTTP mode, ensure that you are not using the cookie for authentication purposes in the Client Polling API, and are instead supplying authorization credentials. Alternatively, change the configuration and use HTTPS for communication between the client application and SRS.

When a proxy is used it may interfere with the SR Service operation. The SR Service runs as an HTTP server and it relies on an incoming socket connection to identify the agent's windows session correctly. If the HTTP requests are forwarded by a proxy, the SR Service may not be able to correctly identify the user session in a multi-user environment. In a single user case, it will fall back to the currently active windows session. When the SR Service is installed on a machine with the proxy as an internal system service (such as, Antivirus\Firewall), it is recommended that the SR Service related processes (SrsProcess.exe and GenesysServiceHandler.exe) be added to the security software exception\white list. To avoid this issue, it is recommended that the localhost (127.0.0.1) connections be excluded.
