WebLogicSession and X-WebLogic-Cluster-Hash cookies

Question

          Hello, apologies up front if this has been posted before, I haven't
          been able to
          find any reference to it yet. First, how do I decode the
          WebLogicSession cookie
          between the HttpClusterSerlvet and the HTTP client to extract the IPs of the
          primary/backup cluster servers that have replicated my HTTP session?
          Second,
          how is the translation done between the WebLogicSession cookie
          (proxy<->client)
          and the X-WebLogic-Cluster-Hash (proxy<->cluster)?
          Thanks in advance for any responses,
          -Steven Vaughan
          

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you trying to configure a
          hardware load balancer or something like that in front of the proxy?
          If you take a look at the cookie information (you can do so online by using
          safe cookies at anonymizer.com for example) you will see the IP addresses
          embedded in the cookie data. Do you need to know exactly what the
          information/offsets there are in that data? Could you explain what you are
          trying to accomplish?
