Cookie Persistence and Internet Explorer Not Working
Hi all,
I have a strange issue with our F5 Load Balancer deployment. The issue we are having is with Cookie Persistence types, we are unable to get the F5 or end server to correctly set and save cookies on user’s machines. This is only affecting users who use Internet Explorer, all other web browsers are not affected. I can confirm the F5 load balancer sends a cookie correctly on Google Chrome and we can see this through chrome://settings/cookies or through the sql db file it produces.
We have verified that on IE 8 with Privacy set to “Accept All Cookies” and the F5 Load Balancer set to “Always Send Cookies” & Cookie Insert, we can see a Set-Cookie header during a trace but no physical cookie is saved on the end user’s machine. I have tried both session cookies or expiration based cookies and experience the same issue.
From what I am aware, we do no Group Policy blocking of cookies.
Any ideas or help appreciated as I am now tearing my hair out trying to understand why it does not work.
