Simple problem, no solution yet...

We have a simple problem that is causing us a lot of frustration. We are running on BigIp 6400 V9.1.2.

 

 

In a nutshell, the problem we need to solve is to persist an HTTP request to a pool member based on a session id GUID that is added to the URI after successful login to the application. The URI will look something like: https://www.someplace.com/a/b/foo?sessionId=746sd8fdhdjhfjhdfhkjshf

 

 

Here is the iRule I have created, but it does not seem to work:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set uri findstr [HTTP::uri] "sessionId=" 10 "&"]

 

log local0. "Session ID=$uri"

 

persist uie $sid

 

}

 

 

I can see the sessionid correctly logged in the ltm logs, but the session does not persist. I have persistence profile set to none, but I have also tried universal persistence with the above iRule attached to this profile, but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

 

 

Thanks!
