Cookie Insert - non absolute timestamp

hmm,

 

 

if you use cookie as persistence i don´t have a session table (persistence table).

 

So you mean that i should do a irule that make that table?

 

 

Why can´t just the f5 do a timestamp that just the f5 understand so the client doesn´t know to understand, as you say, a opaque value.

 

 

"FWIW trying to do session timings in the client is NOT a good idea"

 

I agree to 100%, thats why i started this thread.

 

 

We have an internal "timestamp" for the application so the user will be logged out after 15 min if the are inactive.

 

 

In the apps we use a timestamp that is just opaque (timer starts from zero and counting up to 900) so it´s independant from time.

 

But this doesn´t help if i want the gracefully service for a node, so no new "users" go to that node and the current users will decrease becaue i have session expire in the F5 (yeah, i´m repeating again =) ).

 

 

Can you evolve this: "The value in the table for the key is the session info"

 

 

If it´s to any help i´m using SSL to clients and to the backend servers.

 

 

Regards,
