May 08, 2012Cookie Persistence Issue
Thanks.
Thanks.
Can we get some stickiness based on client browser level. We thought simple http cookie insert profile will do but i don't think it is working as expected.
Thanks.
Either your tab is being launched in "Incognito mode" -- meaning it has no attachment to other tabs' settings, or your installation of Chrome may be corrupted. For the first item to be true, you'd have to be launching from Tools -> New Incognito window or with Ctrl+Shift+N.
If you're not doing this, it's possible your cookie storage is corrupt. This may sound weird, but it's possible for Chrome to get into a state where its cookie storage is no longer readable and it'll behave as if it has no cookie storage at all. Check first at chrome://settings/cookies and try a "Remove all". If you get no error, try the tab scenario again. If you get an error, you may need to reinstall Chrome or locate the cookies database in ~/.config/Chrome/Default and delete it manually.
Is Chrome the only browser affected by this? How does Firefox behave?
Thanks.

I think it would be interesting to capture a browser trace of the failure to see what's happening. I expect the issue is not that the browser uses separate cookie stores per tab or window.

for tab1 - 1.xyz.com
for tab2 - 2.xyz.com
for tab3 - 3.xyz.com
1,2,3 are appended in the domain url based on the tabs we open in the browser
So i think based on the domain url value the cookie value differ across multiple tabs. Is there anyway we can differ this behavior and have some sticky session based on per browser (per device) (any no. of tabs).
Thanks.
By default, BigIP persistence cookies are domainless, meaning the browser will only present them to the domain they came from. You can change this behavior, though.
See here: https://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/asg/50/aft/7214/showtab/groupforums/Default.aspx
You can set a domain of ".xyz.com" and it should present the same persistence cookie from all three tabs.
