Subject of the issue

Hi,
upgrading to bitwarden web-v2023.5.0 i'm facing a problem difficult to debug (environment details are in the support string below).
I'm used to set cookie into the client by apache config files

Header append Set-Cookie "XXXXXMail=%{uid}e; path=/; Secure; Max-Age=3600; SameSite=none; Secure"

This apache env variable is populated by a pre-authentication action (e.g. via shibboleth). In the code above %{uid}e serves as an example only. The same behavior is obtained using the variable %{mail}e, and the set cookie becomes null.
Since web-v2023.4.0 or web-v2023.4.2 the process has always worked fine. Starting from web-v2023.5.0 update cookie is nullified after few moments the page is loaded.
My CookieMail cookie in the browser is (null) when the service is loaded, but the browser get the right cookie back if i reload the refresh itself.
I'm trying to understand if this behaviour could depends on vaultwarden/server, but i'm not sure; so forgive me if this open issue may sound inconvenient.
