seeing multiple app sessions from iRules?

OK, I modified my iRules and I am still seeing multiple sessions being created in my App servers.

 

 

Here are my altered irules:

 

 

UITAAC port 80 VIP RULE 1

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/plquoting/templates/receiveincomingfile.cfm" } {

 

HTTP::uri "/PersonalLines/Templates/receiveincomingfile.cfm"

 

}

 

elseif { [HTTP::host] == "uitaac.allied.nwie.net" or [HTTP::host] == "uitaac"} {

 

HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]

 

}

 

}

 

 

UITAAC port 443 VIP RULE 2

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

set ckname uitaac1

 

set ckvalue [IP::client_addr]

 

set ckdomain .allied.nwie.net

 

set cookie [format "%s=%s; path=/; domain=%s" $ckname $ckvalue $ckdomain]

 

}

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

log "rule 2 incoming cookie is: [HTTP::cookie names]"

 

HTTP::respond 302 Location "https://uitaac1.allied.nwie.net[HTTP::uri]" "Set-Cookie" $cookie

 

}

 

 

UITAAC1 port 443 VIP RULE 3

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

log "rule 3 incoming cookie is: [HTTP::cookie names]"

 

if {[HTTP::cookie exists "uitaac1"]} {

 

pool UITShared

 

}

 

else {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://uitaac.allied.nwie.net[HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

 

If the user uses http://uitaac.allied.nwie.net, app server only issues 1 session

 

 

If user uses https://uitaac.allied.nwie.net, the app server issues 2 sessions.

 

 

I can't see why there is a difference since rule1 redirects the user to rule2.

 

 

Any ideas/help??
