CloudFront Debugging Missing Cookie Value

I have had a difficult time determining what needs to be done with my CloudFront setup to be able to get my signed cookie setup working. I have carefully followed the steps and using a module with NodeJS to handle the cookie generation (https://github.com/jasonsims/aws-cloudfront-sign). With my current setup, cookies are being set for my application located at

, but not appearing in either the request and response cookies when a link on my application accesses a file behind the cloudfront distribution (). This has been frustrating because I feel like I have looked at everything and only have a few clues as to why my setup might not be working.

1) The first thing that stands out is that there isn't a domain name set for the cookies, this might be an issue as cookies should be able to persist through sub-domains as long as the domain remains the same.

2) Is there a way to test my cookies from to make sure that it doesn't have to do with the cookies I am setting? Unfortunately, due to the strictness of cloudfront and the need for cookies to have the same hostname as the cloudfront distribution configuration, it is not possible to test from .

Filenames and keys randomly generated and not real.

Current code setup:

var router  = express.Router();

var passport = require('passport');

var crypto = require('crypto');

var moment = require('moment');

var path = require('path');

var fs = require('fs');

var cf = require('aws-cloudfront-sign');

var metaTags = require('./meta-routes');

var cfPK = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname + /config/pk-UHANFBYH54248.pem));



var cfOptions = {

    keypairId: 'E5YGBKNfsdfds472',

    privateKeyString: cfPK

}



var signedCookies = cf.getSignedCookies('https://files.my-site.com/*', cfOptions);



function isLoggedIn(req, res, next) {

    if (req.isAuthenticated())



        for(var cookieId in signedCookies) {

            res.cookie(cookieId, signedCookies[cookieId]);

        }



        return next();

    res.redirect('/login');

}
