Hi,

The value of the header you are using for the persistence needs to be unique and not shared among users. For example if you want to persist based on headerABC then:

if { [HTTP::header exists headerABC] } {
    persist uie [HTTP::header headerABC]
}

Anytime F5 recognizes a persisted value of headerABC, it'll direct the request to the same member based ont the peristence table entry for that value.

Hope that helps.
