Creating a cookie on the F5s and sharing persistance between HTTP and HTTPS

Hi,

 

 

I'm working on an iRule for creating a cookie on the F5s and sharing the persistence between HTTP and HTTPS.

 

 

HTTP and HTTPS VS are sharing the same POOL since SSL offloading is being done for HTTPS.

 

 

I created something like this:

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if { [HTTP::cookie exists "cookie_lb"] }{

 

persist add uie [HTTP::cookie "cookie_lb"]

 

log local0.debug "Cookie persist - client IP: [IP::client_addr], Cookie: [HTTP::cookie "cookie_lb"], Server IP: [IP::server_addr]"

 

} else {

 

set a_cookie [expr {int(5000 * rand())}]

 

HTTP::cookie insert name cookie_lb value $a_cookie

 

persist add uie [HTTP::cookie "cookie_lb"]

 

log local0.debug "Create cookie and persist - client IP: [IP::client_addr], Cookie: $a_cookie, Server IP: [IP::server_addr]"

 

}

 

}

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::cookie exists "cookie_lb"] } {

 

persist uie [HTTP::cookie "cookie_lb"]

 

}

 

}

 

 

Is this the correct approach?

 

Is there a better way of doing it?
