Change the sticky load balancing cookie name

By default, the sticky load balancing cookie name is amlbcookie. Change this value to something that is unique in your environment, and configure the name of the cookie in your load balancers to achieve session stickiness.

Perform the following steps to change the name of the cookie:

  1. Go to Configure > Server Defaults > Advanced.

  2. Change the value of the com.iplanet.am.lbcookie.name advanced server property to the new cookie name.

    By default, AM sets the value of the load balancing cookie to the ID of the instance that first responded to a request. You can change it, but we recommend that you keep this configuration when using web agents.

    For more information, refer to Load balancing.

  3. Restart AM or the container where it runs.
