Cookie persistence, but cookies disabled on browser

BIGIP 4.5.13

 

 

I have a pool which has Active HTTP Cookie-Insert persistence configured. It works as expected except when the client browser has cookies disabled. The goal is to maintain the persistence even with browsers configured this way.

 

 

There is a value in the http header from server to client which I am thinking could be used for persistence.

 

 

Any thoughts? I'm sure this has been encountered before.

 

 

Thank you.

    You can certainly set up your persistence based on the header value if the cookie isn't present. This would make use of a string something like

    
persist ( http_header "HeaderName" )

    All you'd have to do is build some simple logic to confirm the cookie isn't present, then add this persistence record instead.
