Session stickiness via Cookie Question

Hello All,

 

The below is the cookie persistence related configuration whereby we are using the ACE Load balancer to handle cookie persistence by inserting its own cookie into the http payload.  We want to change this so that the backend server inserting its own cookie instead but the ACE still load balance using cookie persistence using the servers' cookies.  That would also mean to have ACE stop inserting its cookies inside the http payload
 
CURRENT CONFIGURATION:
 
sticky http-cookie NOVHQERP-TOATST GROUP8
  cookie insert
  serverfarm REAL_NOVHQERP_TOATST_HTTP
  replicate sticky
 
PLANNED CONFIGURATION
! - Remove "cookie-insert"
 
sticky http-cookie NOVHQERP-TOATST GROUP8
  serverfarm REAL_NOVHQERP_TOATST_HTTP
  replicate sticky
 
Would the configuration above under "planned configuration" be enough to accomplish the above stated goal?
 
Thank you,
 
Adil

Hi Adil,

Planned configuration should be enough. The ACE will learn the cookie from server response and after that in all subsequent requests if client comes with same cookie, ACE will learn it and stick it to the same server.
