iRule action after ASM

Another question...     We have ASM and are using it to scan traffic to one of our applications. Is there an event in which I can change the pool selection after ASM has completed its work?

Hi pvalenzuela,

 

 

Also, ASM will insert a cookie to track data specific to a client's session. You can get some detail on this for 9.4.1 and lower in SOL6850 (Click here). I don't think there has been an update to this solution for 9.4.2 and later, so it's not complete for the latest versions.

 

 

Here are scenarios where ASM would track session data:

 

 

Dynamic parameter enforcement

 

Tracking domain cookies haven't been modified

 

Path sequence enforcement

 

 

What type of HTTP client only supports a single cookie? I've never heard of this before. Even if you could modify the response after it is parsed by ASM and before it's sent to the client it would be a bit difficult to handle the different cookie properties. How would you handle it if the app set a timeout or path for its cookie, but ASM didn't? What if the app specified the cookie should only be sent by the client over HTTPS?
