Clarify HSTS docs

bengerman13 opened this issue · 0 comments

In order to tune HSTS per application requirements, users want better docs on HSTS tuning

Acceptance Criteria

  • WHEN I read (the HSTS docs)[https://cloud.gov/docs/compliance/domain-standards/#hsts-preloading]
    THEN I should see steps I need to take to override the defaults
  • WHEN I read (the HSTS docs)[https://cloud.gov/docs/compliance/domain-standards/#hsts-preloading]
    THEN I should see a caveat that overrides don't affect the http -> https redirect since the app is not consulted before redirecting

Security considerations

This should make it easier for users to comply with security and compliance guidance

Implementation sketch

This is a follow-up on cloud-gov/secureproxy-boshrelease#61

We should check our language other places we talk about headers we set, as well.
