Thanks Kevin. Please find my inline comments.

 

1.The user does NOT interact with the cookiegenerator service. The application VIP calls this service with some date, gets some data, then proceeds on with normal program flow. Is that correct?

 

praque: yes user does nt interact with cookiegenerator service. application VIP calls cookiegenerator service for grap the cookie and proceeds with the normal flow.

 

2.If yes to above, are you on a platform that supports sideband? That is a MUCH simpler process than using HTTP::retry. Praque: Not sure whether it supports sideband or not

 

3.Also if yes to above, does this sideband service get called repeatedly, or just once? Praque : No

 

4.You mention authorization header(assuming from Basic auth) or SMCOOKIE. How would the user already have an SMCOOKIE? Praque: User need to have either userid/password or SMCookie. Whatever they have, need to send it to cookie generator service. Cookie generator service take care of this validation and return the new smcookie. Grap the new SMCookie and use it in normal flow.

 

Regards, Praque
