Oct 21, 2010Session 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...

Nov 12, 2010Hi,
Thanks for the reply. OK after a little more troubleshooting this is what I found.
1) IE7 is poo !, well at least viewing cookies in it is poo !
2) created a link with javascript - javascript:alert(document.cookie)
3) logged on to application clicked newly created link and saw the cookie.
4) logged out of the application, waited 10 mins
5) logged back in, hey presto I am on the other app server
6) repeat loads of times, each time I am on different app server, cookie shows me connected to different app server
7) asked server bods to confirm me as logged on to seperate servers at particular times. They indeed confirm I am
So, in conclusion, I make the assumption that, the load balancing and persistency is working.
And that at the customer site, there is an issue with accepting cookies, so it falls back to source address
I have written them a test script and ask them to perform same tests and see what they get, but they have not managed it yet.
Thanks,
George
PS: Yes, I was behind a proxy (ISA) standard user rules (at least for our site) when tests run
Make sense or am I talking rubbish !
