application ssl + advance-balance ssl

[casablancag]

Hi,

I read in documentation 7.3 that I must

Always configure the ssl application type with the ssl advanced load-balancing method. Now I don't need stickiness for my application because the Session ID is stzored in the database. Must I configure advance-balance ssl ?. Or can I use as balance methos round-robin ? We are testing with 400 concurrent session.

Thank you for the answer.

you don't need either application ssl or advanced-balance ssl.

These 2 commands come together.

The application ssl tells the CSS to translate the bytes into SSL [which takes time and cpu] and the advanced-balance ssl command takes the SSL data [from the previous command] to retrieve the ssl id and stick to it.

If you don't need sticky ssl, don't use any of these commands.

Traffic will just be treated as TCP.

Regards,

Gilles.

thank you for your answer. I have another question. I have a lot of "

WCC-3: Cookie seq number entry not found to retrieve value" in the logs.

Could you explain me what this messages signified

did you configure stateful redundancty aka ASR or ISC ?

If so, you are probably hitting bug CSCef57033 which is fixed in 7.40(1.03) and 7.30(3.03)

This bug is internal, so you can't see it but it descrives a problem where a CSS would log this message when using arrowpoint cookie and ASR at the same time.

Gilles.
