Nimbostratus1 VIP < Multiple pools
I have a fun little situation where I am terminating SSL, parsing the URI and picking a pool. Easy enuf... but now is where I could use a little help *grin*
I want to be able to switch back and forth between the pools at will ( based on URI ) and have 2 separate persistence cookies to keep me on the chosen member.
I can switch pools just fine, and I can persist just fine during the first time in to each pool. The challenge comes in when I go from pool_HTTP_Online to pool_PrintLastYear back to pool_HTTP_Online. The cookie is present but doest not appear to be honored.
Any help would be appreciated.
=====================================================
rule irule_persist_Multiple_Pools {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::uri] contains "s_online_2004"} {
persist cookie insert LastYear 31622400
pool pool_PrintLastYear
}
else {
persist cookie insert TAOL 31622400
pool pool_HTTP_Online
}
}
}
virtual VIP_Online_CLEAR {
destination 172.16.1.10:http
ip protocol tcp
profile oneconnect pf_http_Online tcp
persist pf_OL_05_Final
pool pool_HTTP_Online
rule irule_persist_Multiple_Pools
}

I used the following iRule to "hide" the default cookie naming convention used by the cookie insert profile and to encrypt/decrypt the cookies:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::cookie decrypt cookie_abc secretabc
HTTP::cookie decrypt cookie_def secretdef
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/abc/"}{
persist cookie insert cookie_abc 0
pool pool_abc
}
else {
persist cookie insert cookie_def 0
pool pool_def
}
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
HTTP::cookie encrypt cookie_abc secretabc
HTTP::cookie encrypt cookie_def secretdef
}
With a timeout of "0" I tried to force a session cookie behaviour. But unfortunately the standard timeout of 180 seconds is applied. (Tested in 10.1.0 LTM VE Trial)
Any ideas how to fix this?
