Session Persistence

This is a pretty simple task. You will want to create an http persistence profile such as this:

 

 

profile persist cookiePersist {

 

defaults from cookie

 

mode cookie

 

cookie mode insert

 

cookie name "fooCookie"

 

cookie expiration 00:00:00

 

}

 

 

Then you will need to assign an http profile to your virtual ( likely you already have this ) and set the persistence profile on the virtual to your cookiePersist profile like this:

 

 

virtual someAppVirt {

 

(...)

 

rules

 

... blah, rules

 

profiles

 

blah, some profiles plus your http profile

 

persist cookiePersist

 

}

 

 

The down side to this approach is that the cookie will be held by the browser until the session is closed - and by session I mean browser. Not the logging off - you will have to find a way to expire that cookie if you want to prevent them from coming back to the same app server.

 

 

You can also do http session persistence off of the jsessionuid cookie, refer to this from the code share: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/Weblogic_JSessionID_Persistence.html
