![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Customer has some other application that puts a cookie in the header called jsessionid. This value is numberic where the WAS JSESSIONID value is alphanumberic with the clone ID at the end. Their cookie was before our sesion cookie and the plugin parsed and used the value of their cookie mistaking it for our JSESSIONID value. The plugin was not able to find a clone for this value so it defaulted to round robin instead of persistent sessions, thereby broking the session for the application.Local fix Local fix for this is to change the cookie name for the persistent session cookies. After this, the customer cookie named jsessionid will not interfer with the plugin persistent session function.Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server version 4.0 * * users of the webserver plugins. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Affinity was breaking at the plugin * * level because 2 JSESSIONID cookies were * * present in the request. One was all * * upper case and one was all lower case. * * However, the plugin was searching * * case insensitively. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The plugin would pick the wrong JSESSIONID cookie because it would search case insensitively for it in the Cookie header.Problem conclusion Changed the plugin so that it performs a case sensitive search of the Cookie header for the JSESSIONID cookie.Temporary fix A fix was delivered to the customer in the form of PQ70020_eFix_ AEServer_AEsServer.jar.Comments
