Cookie stickiness on ACE

Question

Hi:
I have the following configuration. Although the users can hit the web server, the stickiness doesn't work.
sticky http-cookie TEST1 TEST1
timeout 300
replicate sticky
serverfarm PROXY
policy-map type loadbalance first-match L7_TEMPORAL
class HTTP-TEMPORAL
sticky-serverfarm TEST1
policy-map multi-match L4-VIP-LB-Policy
class VIP-TEMPORAL
loadbalance policy L7_TEMPORAL

Not sure if you already did that but to make stickiness work you need to assign resources for stickiness per context. Have look at the link.

sticky http-cookie TEST1 TEST1 says the ace is looking for a cookie named "TEST1" in the http header so you should make sure that cookie exists. Otherwise add a "cookie insert" and the ace should insert that a cookie named "TEST1" then.

The name argument in the sticky command specifies the cookie name that appears in the HTTP header. The name argument in the cookie secondary command specifies the cookie name that appears in the URL.
