Issue/Introduction

OC Reports fails with :"CABI is not available or accessible" after deploying a new CABI instance. OC Reports worked fine with the original CABI instance
UIM Dashboards load fine with a direct logon session to CABI with superuser.

Example: <CookieProcessor class="org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Rfc6265CookieProcessor" sameSiteCookies="Lax" />
