Cisco Application :: 4710 - HTTP-Cookie Sticky Not Working

Feb 1, 2012

I have a requirement to load balance OWA 2010 inbound connectivity to 2 CAS servers using a ACE 4710 with sticky sessions enabled.
 
The CAS servers are currently responding on 80 or 443 at this moment in time. Eventually I want to off load the SSL to the ACE 4710, its currently running on the CAS servers. I need to enable sticky sessions to keep the session to the same CAS server for each internet based connection. I also have a proxy enabled for inbound connectivity so I cannot use source IP.
 
Here is my configuration but it doesn’t seem to be working, i am currently testing with port 80 connections not SSL.
 
serverfarm host INHOUSE-EXCHANGE-OWA-vFARM
predictor response app-req-to-resp samples 4
probe 443
probe HTTP-PROBE
rserver INHOUSE-TEST-CAS01-SVR
   inservice(code)

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 Cookie Based Stickiness

Jul 23, 2012

We have ACE 4710, It is configured with IP based stickiness and working fine for a web application server (BMC Remedy). We tried configuring cookie based stickiness for the same server. Server application is having JSESSIONID.But after configuring cookie based stickiness, there is an issue that the first page is coming for entering login credentials and after entering it the page is blank or not responding.  What is the pre-requirement for configuring cookie based stickiness in ACE for BMC Remedy web application and which type of cookie based stickiness is suitable or possible?

Cisco Application :: Ace 4710 Response Sticky Only

Dec 15, 2011

I've been using my pair of ACE-4710s for quite some time and have usually stuck to the Class C Subnet sticky settings, as that's what we migrated from in Windows NLB.  In one instance of load balancing I'm trying to create an L4 inspection policy that looks for a certain payload (much like a http header) and would like to persist on this.  The problem is that the client portion of the conversation starts with a 'SessionID' of 0, and the server responds with a unique 'SessionID'.  If I setup the sticky policy with 'Enable Sticky For Response', I get entries populated in the sticky database, but they all go to the same server as there is a sticky session setup for the SessionID = 0.  Is there a way to setup sticky entries on server response only.Currently using ACE DM v4(1.0).

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 SSL Cannot Configure Backup Sticky Network

Sep 24, 2012

I'm looking for some documentation I can share with a customer to explain why I can't configure them a back-up sticky server farm when we're not terminating SSL on the the ACE (we pass SSL from the client through to the rservers, sticking the client to the rserver by source IP address).  I've not been able to find anything that addresses this particular scenario in my googling so far.  I remember discussing this in my training class with the instructor, but I can't find any reference to it.  Have any of you run into this and have a link they can share?

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 / Sticky Serverfarm / All Connections On One Server?

Nov 2, 2011

We are using a sticky serverfarm with 2 real servers, one server was down for maintenance for an extended period of time. When it came inservice again it was not getting any connections. is it because all the connections had stuck to the other server ?  we want sessions to be sticky but we also want to LB?I got it working by bouncing the server that had been online all the time. things started to LB then.BTW  the ACE 4710 is running 4.2.1

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 Shows Over Weeks Dramatically Increasing Sticky Entries

Jan 24, 2013

I have a strange effect at my ACE 4710. I loadbalances normally reliable only 14 WEB-Services.
 
It's running on SW A3.25. Since several weeks I regognized a dramatical increase of Sticky entries. So when running in limitations (the stolen for reuse counter increased then) (show np 1 me-stats "-slb -v") gave more and more resources for sticky ... last it was at 65% and ran again into limits at round 650500 Sticky entries.
 
So I began to find out what of the services was affected with most sticky database entries and could Identify it. There were really to see round about640000 entries for that specific service.
 
The sticky for that service was defined to look at a specific cookie in the http header and the timeout defined is 120 minutes.
 
So round about 45000 Entries was to see with a "show sticky databse group Cookie_Sticky"  with a time-to-expire value of   zero   in the database like the follwing examüple shows:
 
timeout      : 120           timeout-activeconns : FALSE  sticky-entry          rserver-instance                 time-to-expire flags  ---------------------+--------------------------------+--------------+-------+  13765297814690832647 

[Code]....

When I modified my Sticky definition  with the command "timeout activeconns"   all the Zero-Entries were kicked out and the rsources used for Stickywent back to 5% of usage...

Cisco Application :: ACE4710 Insert Cookie - Does It Overwrite Server Cookie

Mar 28, 2012

I was trying to implement stickiness based on cookie. Server inserts a cookie and sends it to the browser. I learned from app team that this cookie is changing dynamically during the session, so stickiness based on server’s cookie doesn’t work.
 
Now I want to investigate into possibility of ACE to insert a cookie. My question is: ACE feature of “cookie insert”: does it add additional cookie into http header without removing server cookies or it deletes the cookie(s) that server put into http header and replaces them with its own cookie?

Cisco Application :: Insert Http Header Ace 4710

I have an ACE version A5.2 configured in one-armed leg (doing source nat). I have a requirement to add(or copy) the "referer" header value from the original request to the request send by ACE.
 
I cannot figure out how to copy this value. It is easy to add the source ip address  by adding: " insert-http x-forwarded-for header-value "%is".
 
So how I am going to copy the Refere header?
 
#Referer
#Address (URI) of the resource from which the URI in the request was obtained

Cisco Application :: CSS Or ACE 4710 Redirect HTTPS To Http

Feb 27, 2012

For a CSS with a SSL module (performing SSL termination) - is it possible to impliment a redirect on https URL to send to equivalent http URL.If my understanding is correct, the CSS will do SSL termination and then use an http content rule on the resultant http stream as it is recursively handled by the CSS ? This would mean that the SSL module has no way of seeing/acting on layer 5 and above data (i.e. picking up on a specific URL) and can not itself issue a redirect - i.e. you could not associate a redirect statement or service with the following ssl content rule ? [code]The CSS would instead rely on a http content rule to impliment a redirect - i.e. you would have to associate a redirect statement or service to the following http content rule instead?
 
But if the CSS is already handling traffic for existing url...  traffic that is going to cause a loop when a client goes direct to. url...I realise the requirment is uncommon / a bit convoluted, its one of those don't ask type scenarios - aimed at achieving a specific requirement.Would the ACE 4710 be able to handle such a scenario any differently ?

Cisco Application :: IOS HTTP Authorization Vulnerability When Traversing ACE 4710

Oct 10, 2012

We had a PCI security audit of an existing VIP on our ACE 4710. The VIP is set up as HTTPS terminating on the ACE with a http redirect for all 80 traffic.  The audit reported this VIP was vunerabled to the Cisco "IOS HTTP Authorization Vulnerability".  Which basicly states, http Management is on this IOS device.  It does not make any sense, as the VIP is pointed to a pair IIS servers?

I think this would be an http re-write request/response scenario?Is this possible to configure this on the ACE Device? We've got the load balance configuration down...not sure how to do this re-write type scenario?

After replacing a Cisco CSS/SSL  Accelorator and PIX firewall with an ACE 4710 to do load balancing and  SSL encryption behind an ASA firewall we started seeing mangled HTTP  requests in the Apache access logs for the servers in the server farm. This is occurring for several different URLs and not just the one above and for multiple web browsers.The ACE load balances to servers running Tomcat 7 with Apache HTTP server v. 2.2.14. A recent ACE software upgrade to A5(2.1) has not fixed the problem.

Cisco Application :: ACE 4710 Policy Is Not Working

Jun 16, 2011

I have ACE 4710 in context mode. I am doing internet browsing (Port 80) redirection to two proxy servers (Transparent Proxy) as well as I am using this ACE box for multiple other servers load balancing.
 
I have multiple policies applied on my LAN interface (VLAN 300) where all the users and servers are connected.
 
Now I am facing problem with one application (PLATTS) which is oil company related application. This application is working fine while directly connected with Internet (extrenal internet connection) or by giving explicit proxy in the user browser.
 
But In transparent proxy This application is not working and my company policy only allow the transparent proxy not explicit proxy.
 
Now if on my interface vlan 300 i will remove the service-policy input PM_MAIN_BCPROXY my application will start working but i cant redirect the port 80 traffic to my proxy servers which is also my requirement.
  
interface vlan 300
description ACE-INSIDE CONTEXT RACK1
ip address 192.168.0.65 255.255.255.224

[Code]....

This application use multiple destinations for connectivity and I have even tried by passing the destination IP addresses by making bypass policy but still no luck.
 
I want this application to work as well as redirection of port 80. I even try re-ordering the policy sequence but no luck. this application to work as well as redirectino of port 80 for Internet.

Cisco Application :: Cookie Insert On ACE20-MOD-K9

Nov 13, 2012

We are using an ACE engine module(ACE20-MOD-K9) provide loading balancing service for two WEB servers and configured cookie for stickness. Below is the current configuration and it seems working fine now.
 
The problem I was facing is before use parameter-map change the http header length to 8k the stickness doesn't really working properly. User complains that their working session constantly be kicked out and redirect them to login page. By tracing traffic from a client we found that sometime ACE fails or stop insert the configured cookie, after increase the header length ACE start getting work.
 
how does the header length setup effect ACE to insert a cookie? Will the cookie insert attmpt fail if the header is longer then the maximum length configured on ACE? [code]

Cisco Application :: 4710 ACE Source-address Matching In Nested Class-maps Not Working

Sep 6, 2012

Im having a (from google-fu) seemingly unique issue with load balancing. So for background, I am running the ACE 4710 device in "on a stick" mode, so I am using NAT and all that good stuff. I am also utilizing class maps and host header matching so I can save on IP space. [code]

Basically, as soon as I add that ACL_CLASS_beta.mainsite.com class map, all I get back from the ACE is RST packets and it comes back with an L7 LB Policy Miss.
 
It SEEMS like it should work, but it doesnt seem to like matching on those source addresses at all.

Cisco Application :: ACE10-6500-K9 / How Static Entry Under Sticky Performs

Jul 26, 2011

how a static entry under a "sticky" performs Configuring Static IP Address Sticky Table Entries Cisco Documentation Says When you configure a static entry, the ACE enters it into the sticky table immediately. Configuring the ACE Action on Server Failure failaction purge # The purge keyword specifies that the ACE remove the  connections to a real server  if that real server in the server farm  fails after you enter the  command. The ACE sends a reset (RST) to both  the client and the server  that failed. Cisco Documentation Says If you do not configure this command, the ACE takes no action when a server fails
 
sample config
sticky ip-netmask 255.255.255.240 address source STICKY1
timeout 180   replicate sticky   serverfarm SERVERFARM1   8 static client source 192.168.12.15 rserver SERVER1
  
Question1 - What happens if SERVER1 fails?
 
a) Does the ACE let the connections to SERVER1 timeout(default behaviour) and then load-balance new connections coming in deom 192.168.12.15 to another server in SERVERFARM1

ORb)  Does the ACE reset the connections to SERVER1  immediately and starts  load-balancing new conenction coming in from  192.168.12.15 to other  servers in SERVERFARM1 ?

ORc) Does the ACE just drop the current and new connections from 192.168.12.15 till SERVER1 comes back up ?

OR d) Is it dealt differently?
 
Question2 - Now what happens if the failed server(SERVER1) comes back up after some time?
 
e) Does the ACE reset any current connections from 192.168.1.15 and starts sending them to SERVER1 ?

ORf)  Does the ACE leave the current connections from 192.168.1.15 to other  servers in SERVERFARM1 as they are and send any new connections
from 192.168.1.15 to SERVER1?

ORg) Is it dealt differently?
 
My guess is Question1 -> a) and Question2 -> e)
 
ACE model =  ACE10-6500-K9
Version =  A2(3.3)

1)  What impact will this have on the CPU?
2)  What impact will this have on Memory utilization?
3)  Is there a maximum nubmer on redirects?
4)  Are there other things I should be concerned about?

The feature is called DNS inspection. Is the same feature as the ASA (DNS doctoring).I apply it to the outside interface and it did not work.
