| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
Cookies are strings passed via HTTP from servers to browsers, and are inserted by either the WSM or the server. After a client receives a cookie, a server can poll that cookie with a GET command, which allows the querying server to positively identify the client as the one that received the cookie earlier. The cookie-based persistence feature solves the proxy server problem and gives better load distribution at the server site. In the WSM, cookies are used to route client traffic back to the same physical server to maintain session persistence.
