select member based on cookie in request
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to select a specific pool member based on a cookie in the request?
so if my cookie had a value of "cookie1" then it should select pool member 1 etc.
The dev team wants to be able to select a specific pool member behind the F5.
I am hoping then the insert cookie option will take care of the subsequent requests to that pool member.
in pseudo code
On a http request we will check for a cookie "mycookie" and "mycookie2" if only "mycookie" exsists and the value matches a "entry" in a data class and it is coming from a trusted ip address then we will select a specific pool member.
If "mycookie" and "mycookie2" exists then we should do nothing as mycookie2 was inserted by the F5 in the previous response.
In the http response we want to insert an encrypted cookie using the cookie persist and encrypt options in the profiles.
is my pseudo code workable on a 9.4.7 LTM?
Thanks in advance.
