NimbostratusChanging the Cookie values
The Big-IP 1500 load balancer encodes the IP address and the port number of the actual Web server behind the load balancer within a cookie.
For example:
Set-Cookie: BIGipServerrms_https_prod=1040868362.27423.0000; path=/
So my question is:
1) How can I suppress this information from being revealed?
2) And How can I change the cookie prefix to an alternative value other then BIGipServer?

Hi there,
You could encrypt the cookie in the HTTP profile and you could change the cookie name in the cookie insert persistence profile. For details, try searching on AskF5.com for 'encrypt cookie' and check the LTM config guide for your version regarding persistence configuration options.
