Cookie persistence video conference

Our video conf desktop servers issue cookies for meetings. CONFSESSIONID=

 

Desktop servers are round robin so i need to ensure same cookie sessions go to the same server.

 

I have aded a cookie persistence rule but when i set http profile all connections fail.could someone advise or point me in the right direction for an irule to manage these sessions.

 

Many thanks in advance.

  • you'll have to excuse my lack of understanding. I am midway in F5 training and these devices have been dumped under my control.

     

    what is the VIP.

     

    do you mean the self-ip floating address or the virtual server config

    VIP means Virtual IP or Virtual Server. You can run next command to get the config: tmsh list ltm virtual

     

  • Hi,

     

    The VIP is the virtual Server that you create to reverse your service.

     

    Can you tell me if you use SSL/TLS to access your VIP if it's case validate that you process interception (that you set SSL client and SSL server in your VS/VIP Setting). because if you set an http profile without interception it will not working.

     

    Regards

     

  • this config works OK

    destination 192.168.102.180:any
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool Scopia_Test
    profiles {
        tcp { }
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    translate-address enabled
    translate-port disabled
    vs-index 53
    

    }

    this config fails on joining meeting.

    destination 192.168.102.180:any
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255

    profiles {
        tcp { }
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {

    }
    translate-address enabled
    translate-port disabled
    vs-index 53
    

    }

  • the reason why I am using http profile is because when I add cookie persistence I get this error.

     

    "Cookie persistence requires an HTTP or FastHTTP profile to be associated with the virtual server"
