decrypting server cookie

Can LTM decrypt a server's cookie (3DES w/private key exchange)?     Login server sets an encrypted cookie containing info that we'd like to reference in a rule.     thanks   /deb

I'm not sure I understand.

 

The output from AES::key is a key value generated by LTM, right?

 

 

I don't think that's what I'm looking for.

 

 

What I'm looking for is the ability to use the server's private key to decrypt the encrypted cookie set by the server.

 

 

Importing the private key from the server to LTM is trivial, but I don't see any way to reference that key within the rule to decrypt the cookie.

 

 

Am I missing something, or is that outside the current capability of LTM?

 

 

thanks!
