(Updatable) The configuration details for implementing load balancer cookie session persistence (LB cookie stickiness).

Session persistence enables the Load Balancing service to direct all requests that originate from a single logical client to a single backend web server. For more information, see Session Persistence.

When you configure LB cookie stickiness, the load balancer inserts a cookie into the response. The parameters configured in the cookie enable session stickiness. This method is useful when you have applications and Web backend services that cannot generate their own cookies.

Path route rules take precedence to determine the target backend server. The load balancer verifies that session stickiness is enabled for the backend server and that the cookie configuration (domain, path, and cookie hash) is valid for the target. The system ignores invalid cookies.

To disable LB cookie stickiness on a running load balancer, use the UpdateBackendSet operation and specify null for the LBCookieSessionPersistenceConfigurationDetails object.

Example: LBCookieSessionPersistenceConfigurationDetails: null

Note: SessionPersistenceConfigurationDetails (application cookie stickiness) and LBCookieSessionPersistenceConfigurationDetails (LB cookie stickiness) are mutually exclusive. An error results if you try to enable both types of session persistence.

(Updatable) The configuration details for implementing session persistence based on a user-specified cookie name (application cookie stickiness).

Session persistence enables the Load Balancing service to direct any number of requests that originate from a single logical client to a single backend web server. For more information, see Session Persistence.

With application cookie stickiness, the load balancer enables session persistence only when the response from a backend application server includes a Set-cookie header with the user-specified cookie name.

To disable application cookie stickiness on a running load balancer, use the UpdateBackendSet operation and specify null for the SessionPersistenceConfigurationDetails object.

(Updatable) The name of the cookie inserted by the load balancer. If this field is not configured, the cookie name defaults to "X-Oracle-BMC-LBS-Route". Example: example_cookie

Notes:

• Ensure that the cookie name used at the backend application servers is different from the cookie name used at the load balancer. To minimize the chance of name collision, Oracle recommends that you use a prefix such as "X-Oracle-OCI-" for this field.
• If a backend server and the load balancer both insert cookies with the same name, the client or browser behavior can vary depending on the domain and path values associated with the cookie. If the name, domain, and path values of the Set-cookie generated by a backend server and the Set-cookie generated by the load balancer are all the same, the client or browser treats them as one cookie and returns only one of the cookie values in subsequent requests. If both Set-cookie names are the same, but the domain and path names are different, the client or browser treats them as two different cookies.

(Updatable) The domain in which the cookie is valid. The Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains a domain attribute with the specified value.

This attribute has no default value. If you do not specify a value, the load balancer does not insert the domain attribute into the Set-cookie header.

Notes:

• RFC 6265 - HTTP State Management Mechanism describes client and browser behavior when the domain attribute is present or not present in the Set-cookie header.

If the value of the Domain attribute is example.com in the Set-cookie header, the client includes the same cookie in the Cookie header when making HTTP requests to example.com, www.example.com, and www.abc.example.com. If the Domain attribute is not present, the client returns the cookie only for the domain to which the original request was made.

• Ensure that this attribute specifies the correct domain value. If the Domain attribute in the Set-cookie header does not include the domain to which the original request was made, the client or browser might reject the cookie. As specified in RFC 6265, the client accepts a cookie with the Domain attribute value example.com or www.example.com sent from www.example.com. It does not accept a cookie with the Domain attribute abc.example.com or www.abc.example.com sent from www.example.com.

Example: example.com

(Updatable) Whether the Set-cookie header should contain the Secure attribute. If true, the Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains the Secure attribute, which directs the client or browser to send the cookie only using a secure protocol.

Note: If you set this field to true, you cannot associate the corresponding backend set with an HTTP listener.

Example: true

(Updatable) The amount of time the cookie remains valid. The Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains a Max-Age attribute with the specified value.

The specified value must be at least one second. There is no default value for this attribute. If you do not specify a value, the load balancer does not include the Max-Age attribute in the Set-cookie header. In most cases, the client or browser retains the cookie until the current session ends, as defined by the client.

Example: 3600

(Updatable) The path in which the cookie is valid. The Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains a Path attribute with the specified value.

Clients include the cookie in an HTTP request only if the path portion of the request-uri matches, or is a subdirectory of, the cookie's Path attribute.

The default value is /.

Example: /example

(Updatable) The path in which the cookie is valid. The Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains a Path attribute with the specified value.

Clients include the cookie in an HTTP request only if the path portion of the request-uri matches, or is a subdirectory of, the cookie's Path attribute.

The default value is /.

Example: /example

(Updatable) The name of the cookie inserted by the load balancer. If this field is not configured, the cookie name defaults to "X-Oracle-BMC-LBS-Route". Example: example_cookie

Notes:

• Ensure that the cookie name used at the backend application servers is different from the cookie name used at the load balancer. To minimize the chance of name collision, Oracle recommends that you use a prefix such as "X-Oracle-OCI-" for this field.
• If a backend server and the load balancer both insert cookies with the same name, the client or browser behavior can vary depending on the domain and path values associated with the cookie. If the name, domain, and path values of the Set-cookie generated by a backend server and the Set-cookie generated by the load balancer are all the same, the client or browser treats them as one cookie and returns only one of the cookie values in subsequent requests. If both Set-cookie names are the same, but the domain and path names are different, the client or browser treats them as two different cookies.

(Updatable) The domain in which the cookie is valid. The Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains a domain attribute with the specified value.

This attribute has no default value. If you do not specify a value, the load balancer does not insert the domain attribute into the Set-cookie header.

Notes:

• RFC 6265 - HTTP State Management Mechanism describes client and browser behavior when the domain attribute is present or not present in the Set-cookie header.

If the value of the Domain attribute is example.com in the Set-cookie header, the client includes the same cookie in the Cookie header when making HTTP requests to example.com, www.example.com, and www.abc.example.com. If the Domain attribute is not present, the client returns the cookie only for the domain to which the original request was made.

• Ensure that this attribute specifies the correct domain value. If the Domain attribute in the Set-cookie header does not include the domain to which the original request was made, the client or browser might reject the cookie. As specified in RFC 6265, the client accepts a cookie with the Domain attribute value example.com or www.example.com sent from www.example.com. It does not accept a cookie with the Domain attribute abc.example.com or www.abc.example.com sent from www.example.com.

Example: example.com

(Updatable) Whether the Set-cookie header should contain the Secure attribute. If true, the Set-cookie header inserted by the load balancer contains the Secure attribute, which directs the client or browser to send the cookie only using a secure protocol.
