Symptoms

When using a cookie hash persistence profile and an iRule to provide finer granularity using offset and length parameters to calculate the hash, the system creates incorrect persistence entries.

Impact

Incorrect persistence entries are created.

Conditions

Cookie hash persistence profile and iRule on top of that specifies offset and length of the cookie to be used for hashing is needed.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Using cookie hash persistence and invoking cookie hash persistence from within an iRule now works as expected.
