Nimbostratushow to setup persistence to concatenate jvmRoute with JSESSIONID to generate final SESSIONID
Hi, Can anyone help with how to setup persistence for a request as below:
We are going to be setting a "jvmRoute" variable in tomcat, and need to configure the F5 load balancer to concatenate it...

Noctilucentdo you mean concatenating jvmroute and jsessionid to be a persistence key? are you using universal persistence?
if yes, you can just put them together e.g. [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"][HTTP::cookie "jvmRoute"].

Melinda_60516Thanks Nitass for your answer! we're using universal persistence. The application specialist want the traffic routed based on the tomcat cookie, which will be JSESSIONID.jvmRoute. We found the below article which mentioned that the BigIP creates an internal map of JSESSIONID's and the application server that the ID came from. If so, I'm wondering if we still need put jsessionid and jvmroute together to be a persistence key? http://www.techstacks.com/howto/set-up-jsessionidbased-persistence-on-a-bigip.html- nitass_89166the internal mapping is persistence record which is created using persist command. yes, you have to put jsessionid and jvmroute together and use it as a persistence key.
