| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
This example illustrates how to configure the WSM to search for a cookie in an HTTP header or a URI.
The following client request has two different cookies labeled UID--one in the HTTP header and the other in the URI.
| GET /product/switch/UID=12345678;ck=1234... Host: www.alteonwebsystems.com Cookie: UID=87654321 |
To configure the WSM to search for the UID or HTTP cookie, use the following virtual server and service settings.
Cookie Search = Enabled or Disabled
Cookie Name = UID
Embeds this cookie name in the server response. The WSM searches for this cookie name in subsequent requests from the same client.
Cookie Offset = 1
Tells the WSM to start searching at the first byte of the cookie.
Cookie Length = 8
Tells the WSM to extract 8 bytes.
Persistent Binding = Cookie
Tells the WSM to look for the cookie embedded in the server response in subsequent requests from the same client.
Cookie Persistence Mode = Passive
Enables passive cookie-based persistence.
