Wow, I guess I'm even more confused then. The rule calling SSL:current_sessionID is in the rule I currently have deployed on my test BigIP v.9 unit, and it does not give a syntax error. Are you sure current_sessionID is not valid?

 

 

The BigIP v.9 manual specifically states that the ssl persistance profile will not work on terminated SSL (ssl proxy). That's why I'm trying to use a rule to establish the persistance.

 

 

I don't need the sessionID in the header except as a way to perform persistance, so if the ssl persistance profile really will work, then I'll stick with that.

 

 

Any idea why the manual says the profile will not work for LTM-terminated ssl sessions?
