Aug 31, 2010Cookie encryption
I have a lot of web sites using the F5 default cookie for the primary persistence method. When using this cookie, it names the cookie BIGipServerPOOLNAME. This is cool, but now I have a request to encrypt all the persistence cookies. Is there a way to encrypt all these cookies easily? Do I need to create a custom cookie persistence for EVERY site and then list them ALL in the http profile to be encrypted?

Either option would be cool, a wildcard or a checkbox. Hopefully this will get added sometime in v11 maybe :D - mr_skater99_640

Just in case someone hits this page (as I did), the persistence cookie encryption is implemented in sw 11.5.0 (and later) in cookie persistence profile. See SOL23254150: Configuring cookie encryption for BIG-IP persistence cookies from the cookie persistence profile. Default is not encrypted.
