Session Cookies - Help !

Hi,     Apologies for banging on about cookie persistency. Got an odd one.     We have 2 web servers behind an LTM1500. Cookie persistency is enabled with source address as a backup method...

George: from the description of the behavior I'd guess that there's a proxy upstream of the BigIP. Have a look at this solution if this is the case: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/900/sol7964.html?sr=11057641

 

 

The basic idea is that you enable a oneconnect profile (use a /32 mask: 255.255.255.255), which will enforce a detach and a layer 7 evaluation for every request. Then your cookie persistence will start working again. This may not be the issue, but it sure sounds like it. I've run into this several times and oneconnect usually fixes it outright.

 

 

Good luck!
