Issue/Introduction

Issue: We get the Data Access Error message on the OC Home page and on dashboards. We already know this is because 3rd party cookies is being blocked by the Chrome browser. We noticed that when we go to the blocked list, we can see that the CABI server is sending an IP address back to the Chrome browser. Both the OC and CABI servers have the same domain names. How we can get the cabi server to send an FQDN name back to the OC Chrome browser instead of the IP.  We have very strict security protocols in place and we need to see if we can get around the cookie being blocked without disabling cookie settings or allowing cookies.
