cookie expire

Hi. We'd like to change the expiration date of a Cookie when a client comes in with a certain Useragent-string. Normally our users just get the default Cookie which expires after the session. ...

I would have expected this rule to work for you: 

 
 when LB_SELECTED {  
    if {[IP::addr [LB::server addr] equals 10.1.110.105] } {  
       persist cookie insert Cookie_Test 18144000  
    }  
 }

I tried testing on 9.3.1 and 10.0.1, but couldn't set the cookie timeout from an iRule. You might try opening a case with F5 Support on this.

As a workaround, you could try something like this: 

 
 when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Set-Cookie: [HTTP::header values Set-Cookie]" 
  
    if {[HTTP::cookie exists $my_persist_cookie] && [IP::server_addr]:[TCP::server_port] eq "10.1.110.105:80"}{ 
       HTTP::cookie expires $my_persist_cookie 86400 
    } 
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Set-Cookie: [HTTP::header values Set-Cookie]" 
 }
