application issue

 

I am new to ipules and networking .

 

 

I have following situation. I 4 tomcat servers runing on different solaris zones on diffrent ports.

 

 

so far I am succesful in the following

 

I have created a virtual server amd have this tomcat servers as members.

 

 

I have tested that if one of the pool memebers are disabled the request routes to other member in the pool.

 

 

my problem is when this happens the user has to authenticate again .

 

 

is their any way by using irules I can avoid the login procedure.

 

 

the application uses JsessionId as cookie .

 

 

the application I run is opensource sakai lms.

 

 

 

any help would be helpful .

  • My guess is that you'd probably need to have your servers syncing their session information. Otherwise when failing over the new server being hit won't know the user is authenticated.

     

     

    I don't know of any way to accomplish this solely through the F5. This is an application-level authentication, so the application would have to handle mirroring the data between each server.
