drteeth,

 

 

Thanks for the sugguestion.

 

 

So, Cookie Hash Persistance will allow me to use the existing Single Signon Cookie and re-hash it to kill persistance.

 

Thats sound really good.

 

 

However, I do not think it will work for me in this case, the client is not using a browser to access the load-balance site, there for there is no way to store the cookie.

 

 

It is a protal server accessing a portlet server, and then the portal server will re-render the information to the client.

 

It is a server to server connection w/o a browser.

 

 

The only thing that BigIP support and I can think of is to load-balance the connection is using the single signon cookie which is within the HTTP request, with iRule and Universal Persistence.

 

 

Any though on how to do that?

 

 

BigIP support only can help me up to this point on what to do, they cannot help me with the iRule.

 

 

And I've no idea how the iRule tie into Universal Persistance.

 

 

 

Thanks
