Aug 26, 2012Performance(HTTP) Profile - cookie persistence
Hi,
I have a customer who is doing their own SSL encryption on their servers. So on our LTM I enabled a Performance(HTTP) VS and also enabled cookie persistence.
When I checked my broswer (firefox) I noticed that I was not getting a cookie from the LTM. Cookies from the BIGIP device look like BIGipServervs-............. But when looking at the site behind this VS there are none.
Is this something to do with the site doing their own SSL?

Hi Luca, - Nate_7016Historic F5 AccountIn order to use cookie persistence the LTM has to decrypt the data so it would need the SSL key and cert. It could decrypt and re-encrypt and pass to the server if needed.
- Nate_7016Historic F5 AccountLet me clarify - the LTM can't insert a cookie into encrypted data. Therefore, without the key/cert cookie persistence will notwork with HTTPS.
