iRule attached to SSL virtual server (get cookie contents fails)

Hi Joachim,

Is there a reason you don't/can't use cookie insert persistence? That would be simpler than keying off of the application's cookie.

Do you have a client SSL profile added to the virtual server? In order for LTM to be able to decrypt the SSL, there must be a client SSL profile enabled on the virtual server.

Also, if the cookie name is ASP.NET_SessionId, why are you looking for the cookie name in the list of response cookies? I think you've gotten this from the Codeshare example for ASP where the cookie name had a server token. This isn't necessary when the app's cookie name is static.

If you do want to use the app's cookie you could use the first example in this Codeshare entry:

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/ASP_SessionID_Persistence.html

when HTTP_REQUEST {

   Log debug messages to /var/log/ltm? (0=no, 1=yes)
  set debug 1

  set SessionId [HTTP::cookie ASP.NET_SessionId]
  if {$::debug}{log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]  Request SessionId: >$SessionId<"}
  if { $SessionId != "" } { persist uie $SessionId 1800 }
}
when LB_SELECTED {
  if {$debug}{log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]  LB to:  [LB::server addr]"}
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  set SessionId [HTTP::cookie ASP.NET_SessionId]
  if {$debug}{log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]  Response SessionId: >$SessionId<"}
  if { $SessionId != "" }{ persist add uie $SessionId 1800 }
}
