There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we should rename isSameOrigin to isAllowedOrigin and move this logic there.
Also, please process environmental variables in the root scope, near the top of the file, rather than within the middleware itself. At the moment this replace/split has to be executed for every single request which is an unnecessary cost.

This allows cookies to be sent from an origin other than the primary origin. This can be useful if you want to have multiple sites hosted from different sub-domains but using the same API. Additionally, in development mode, this allows you to use a separate server (such as Ionic dev server) to go against the same API.
There shouldn't be any security concerns as this by default uses the same origin. It only allows changes if you specifically want to whitelist a particular domain to allow cookies from there.
Pass in allowed values as a comma-separated string:
SESSION_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://localhost:8100,https://sub.mydomain.com
