Bug ID 748848: Anti-Bot Mobile SDK cookie name change to support identical cookies for multiple virtual servers

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP ASM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
13.1.1, 13.1.1.2, 13.1.1.3, 13.1.1.4, 13.1.1.5, 13.1.3, 13.1.3.1, 13.1.3.2, 13.1.3.3, 13.1.3.4, 13.1.3.5, 13.1.3.6, 13.1.4, 13.1.4.1, 13.1.5, 13.1.5.1, 14.0.0, 14.0.0.1, 14.0.0.2, 14.0.0.3, 14.0.0.4, 14.1.0, 14.1.0.1

Fixed In:
15.0.0, 14.1.0.2, 14.0.0.5

Opened: Nov 05, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Multiple virtual servers are each using different cookie names for cookies 72, 74, and 76. This occurred because these cookie names are dependent on virtual server properties.

Impact

Anti-Bot Mobile SDK is not able to connect to multiple virtual servers using the same cookie.

Conditions

-- Multiple subdomains are configured to resolve to different virtual servers with different ASM policies. -- Anti-Bot Mobile SDK attempts to connect to these virtual servers.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The relevant cookie names were changed. The format TS00000000_7x (prefix/suffix may change according to configuration) is now used for cookies 72, 74, and 76, which results in identical cookie names for all configured virtual servers. This will allow Anti-Bot Mobile SDK to connect to multiple virtual servers using the same cookie.
