Question 172

-- Exhibit

-- Exhibit --

Refer to the exhibit.

A web application is configured to allow sessions to continue even after a user computer is shut down for the night. A new LTM device is configured to load balance the web application to several servers. The application owner reports that application users are logged out of the web application whenever their browser is restarted or computer is rebooted.

What is the problem?

    Correct Answer: C

    The problem is that the cookie set by the LTM device does not have an 'Expires' value. Without this value, the cookie becomes a session cookie, which expires once the browser is closed. Adding an 'Expires' attribute to the cookie will ensure that it is stored until the specified expiration time, allowing user sessions to persist across browser restarts or computer reboots.

GVKDOption: C

C - Correct Expiration: Specifies the expiration time of the cookie. When you check Session Cookie (the default value), the system generates a session cookie. This cookie expires when the user session expires (that is, when the browser is closed). When you don't check Session Cookie, you can specify the expiration interval in Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds. https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K83419154
