EmployeeWhere do session cookies live?
This is a quick question that I hope is easy to answer.
When a BigIP (9.x) creates a cookie, clearly its a "session" (in-memory) cookie, and not a file-based cookie. Where then is that cooki...
Thanks for the response...
The cookie is a session cookie in both v4 and v9.. Problem is that our cookie isn't handled directly by the client browser, but by code in the middle. The worst part, the application team cannot locate the source code that is handling this function. I suspect it easier for me to implement a rule, then get app developers to change code they can't find, for a project they aren't accountable for.
I am still using a cookie insert profile, to generate the cookie on the first request. I was thinking the logic that checks to see if the cookie is present in the request, then setting the need_bigip variable would suffice for checking..
Is there a better way..
