http set cookie and a http reply redirect via policy

I am using a multi-rule policy on a new application. I have a requirement to set a cookie and issue a 302 redirect to another website. If I omit the redirect I can see that my cookie is set just fine. However I can't issue a redirect on the same rule and verify that the cookie is being set in any way. Here is what I have within the policy: { http-set-cookie response insert domain .my-domain.com name stop_mobile path / value yes } { http-reply redirect location }

    The default strategy is first-match, so only the first rule is triggered. Change that to all-match, and should work.

    Example from my lab, where I successfully tested this:

    [root@LABBIGIP2:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Changes Pending] config  tmsh list ltm policy policy1
ltm policy policy1 {
    controls { forwarding }
    requires { http }
    rules {
        cookie {
            actions {
                0 {
                    http-set-cookie
                    response
                    insert
                    name stop_mobile
                    path /
                    value yes
                }
            }
            ordinal 1
        }
        redirect {
            actions {
                0 {
                    http-reply
                    redirect
                    location http://asm.lab.local/
                }
            }
            ordinal 2
        }
    }
    strategy all-match
}
