Cookie based Load Balancing

[drakewhite]

If 3 Real servers in a non-load balancing environmet are setting session cookies with diffrenet cookie names e.g.

server1 response

set-Cookie: SESSIDSAAAAAA=DMNNNELCECNCKDIIDCPOIMGG

Server2 response

set-Cookie: SESSIDSBBBBBB=DAAMMNELCECNCKPYTWPOIPOP

Server3 response

set-Cookie: SESSIDSCCCCCC=POHYTUOIPOPPLKJHTERIQOKJ

then how can CSM be configured with cookie based stickiness.

I tried cookie insert on CSM with NULL value Assigned to "COOKIE_INSERT_EXPIRATION_DATE".

It resulted in two set cookie responses (one from server and one from CSM).

I am wondering how csm will react ( cookie insert is used) if client request carries two cookie name-value pairs.

clients are behind megaproxy so cookie based stickiness is needed.

Thanks

if you look into a http client request you will see that many times there are more than 1 cookies.

The most important is to make sure the CSM insert a cookie with a different name.

Create your own name.

The client will receive both the csm cookie and the server cookie and will send both when opening a new connection.

The CSM is able to locate its own cookie in the list and do the stickyness.
