Persistence Cookie iRule not working as desired

I do not think persist none will make the browser drop cookies.

 

 

No, that's not possible, but it will tell the LB to ignore any persistency records for that connection.

 

 

BUT, i have one url for which I am doing persist none. I want to know what happens to that in this case. In short user goes to url /blah1 which has persistence gets cookie BigipServerBLAH1, and then if it goes to url /blah2, which has persist none in the profile, what happens there. I do not think persist none will make the browser drop cookies.

 

 

Well, if you set the cookie for /blah2 it will be valid for the whole domain (I'm not sure if the LB will take care of the path argument in a cookie). So, the cookie set for /blah2 will also be sent (by the browser) for /blah1 and the LB will use the persistence information stored in that cookie, EXCEPT you tell it to ignore persistency for /blah1 by using "persist none". I think I misinterpreted your frist request and iRule.

 

 

Also I cannot try what Kurt said, doing persist none and then cookie insert because what if the user goes back to the pool where default cookie is used. I am not sure if I am explaining my case properly here.

 

 

I think the iRule in your first post is not telling the whole story, and I believe we need some examples (URLs) and descriptions what the LB should do in those cases.
