Title:
  Horizon Dashboard Installation documentation should use secure
  defaults

Status in OpenStack Manuals:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The documentation for installing Horizon includes a section on
  deploying it behind SSL.

  A recent OSSN highlighted that if you need to deploy Horizon securely
  it really should be configured with HTTP Strict Transport Security
  (HSTS) by default. This OSSN demonstrates the configuration but I
  don't have a horizon setup to test it against -

  Similarly, there's an OSSN recommending that Horizon issues cookies
  with Secure attributes, which would avoid it travelling over HTTP and
  protects against a range of attacks:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ossn/+bug/1191051

  As the horizon documentation already has guidance on securing the
  connection it should really follow these best practices.
