2 TopicsMultiple jsessionid cookies on VS
Hi all, We are in the process of replacing our IBM webseal by F5. Basically we have multiple Websphere containers behind our F5 with APM. We use one landing VS where we check uri, ACL, some custom logic in irule and then forward the client accrdingly. If all is OK we will send them to the correct vs. Current setup is: client > F5 > VS-to-cherry-pick-APM-enabled > VS > node-1 (websphere) [jsessionid-1] > VS > node-2 (websphere) [jsessionid-2] > VS > node-n (websphere) [jsessionid-n] All these containers rely on their own JSESSIONID cookie for session management. In order to differentiate these cookies between the containers the webseal uses a cookiejar. With this it can differentiate the inserted cookie based on container selected (see square brackets in example above). Is there a similar technology available on F5 or is this something that should be coded in an irule? Thanks in advance, Joren499Views0likes3CommentsHow to use literals starting with "$" in iRule
Hi, I need to pass client certificate to WebSphere so the application can perform SSL based authentication. I following this article https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K95338243 However in WebSphere App Server the headed for client certificate is $WSCC. But if I code iRule like this when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::header insert $WSCC [b64encode [SSL::cert 0]] } $WSCC is treated as a variable WCSS and the rule is broken How do I get around this issue?
