I have tried searching for more info on getsid and getkey for ACCESS::user function.
What does these do and what are the differences? I can see only a one liner on F5 page. Can anyone help pls.
Irule example which i was going through has below entries, what do they do?
set user_key {}
append user_key $http_user "." $user_hash MD5 hash / hex encoded userpassword+IP+URL
set apm_cookie_list [ACCESS::user getsid $user_key]
set apm_cookie [ACCESS::user getkey [lindex $apm_cookie_list 0]]
HTTP::cookie insert name MRHSession value $apm_cookie
