help with cookie expiration in iRule

I think you might want your cookie domain to be ".companya.com".

 

 

From RFC2109:

 

 

4.3.2 Rejecting Cookies

 

 

To prevent possible security or privacy violations, a user agent

 

rejects a cookie (shall not store its information) if any of the

 

following is true:

 

 

* The value for the Path attribute is not a prefix of the request-

 

URI.

 

 

* The value for the Domain attribute contains no embedded dots or

 

does not start with a dot.

 

 

* The value for the request-host does not domain-match the Domain

 

attribute.

 

 

* The request-host is a FQDN (not IP address) and has the form HD,

 

where D is the value of the Domain attribute, and H is a string

 

that contains one or more dots.

 

 

Examples:

 

 

* A Set-Cookie from request-host y.x.foo.com for Domain=.foo.com

 

would be rejected, because H is y.x and contains a dot.

 

 

* A Set-Cookie from request-host x.foo.com for Domain=.foo.com would

 

be accepted.

 

 

* A Set-Cookie with Domain=.com or Domain=.com., will always be

 

rejected, because there is no embedded dot.

 

 

* A Set-Cookie with Domain=ajax.com will be rejected because the

 

value for Domain does not begin with a dot.
