is being done, a default domain and pattern rule are still needed. The commands are as follows:

config domain default

config pattern-rule default server-group-name <name>

cookie-name <cookie name> cookie-type [self hash learned]

Because learned cookie mode uses a database to track users, there is a configurable timer. If a database entry has not been used for the amount of time specified by the timer, the database entry is deleted. To configure the timer, use the following command:

config sticky cookie-id timeout HH:MM:SS

The timer affects both layer 4 and layer 7. Valid values are in the range 00:00:05 (5 seconds) to 97:43:52. You can specify the value infinity to indicate that the stickiness should last forever.

NOTE: Although you configure it in the default domain, the cookie mode applies to the whole service, not just the default domain.

SSL Session Identifier Persistence

Websites that use SSL encrypt all transmitted information in the SSL session except the SSL session identifier. SSL session identifier persistence works in the same way as learned cookie persistence, except it uses the SSL session identifier instead of a cookie to bind the client and server in the session.

Configuring SSL is done on the main line of the service definition, as follows:

config service vip <ip address> port <number> protocol tcp L7

class https

config domain default

config pattern-rule default server-group-name <name>

SSL Session ID database entries have a separate timer. If a database entry has not been used for the amount of time specified by the timer, then the database entry is deleted. To configure the timer, use the following command:

config sticky session-id timeout HH:MM:SS

The timer affects both layer 4 and layer 7. Valid values are in the range 00:00:05 (5 seconds) to 97:43:52. You can specify the value infinity to indicate that the stickiness should last forever.
