Encrypting of a cookie value from LB to Client

Hello All,

could you please guid me on the steps to encrypt the cookie value from the LB to client?

 

Does encryption of a cookie value will cause any service interruption?

 

Regards,

Thiyagu

      i do wonder about no service interruption. there will be a while that unencrypted cookies are still send by the client, unsure how the big-ip will handle those.

       

      would try to test this first and implement it in a maintenance window to be safe.

        Yes, you're right :/

        Although the clear values won't causes error on BIG-IP, they probably will be ignored and arrive blank on server.

        Thank you MVP :)
