Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Insert cookie mode

The following figure illustrates the insert cookie mode. The client sends a request to visit the Web site. The WSM performs load-balancing and selects a real server. The real server responds without a cookie. The WSM inserts a cookie and forwards the new request with the cookie to the client. Because the real servers don't configure cookies, they don't require cookie server software.
