ACE4710 insert cookie - does it overwrite server cookie?

[dmitriy123]

I read the topic

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Session_Persistence_Using_Cookie_Insert_on_the_Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_Configuration_Example

(great one but unfortunately, doesn't answer my question).

I was trying to implement stickiness based on cookie. Server inserts a cookie and sends it to the browser. I learned from app team that this cookie is changing dynamically during the session, so stickiness based on server’s cookie doesn’t work.

Now I want to investigate into possibility of ACE to insert a cookie. My question is: ACE feature of “cookie insert”: does it add additional cookie into http header without removing server cookies or it deletes the cookie(s) that server put into http header and replaces them with its own cookie?

Thanks!

Hi Dmitriy

If you have different names for server cookie and cookie which ACE is going to insert - server's cookie won't be touched. ACE will just add its own one.
