Summary
A Web application may use HTTP and HTTPS in the same session. This article describes the configuration necessary to ensure persistence is maintained across both HTTP and HTTPS connections.
Background
The NetScaler allows us to configure persistency groups to accommodate exactly such a need. A practical example of this might be a shopping cart where items are browsed over HTTP, but purchased over HTTPS. If persistency were not maintained, it's possible the shopping cart might be lost, the user logged out, or other adverse actions. By using persistency groups, the HTTP and HTTPS vServers are grouped together into one persistent entity.
Procedure
From the GUI:
1. Click and expand the Load Balancing node.
2. Click Persistency Groups.
3. Click Add.
4. Populate the Group Name field.
5. Choose between COOKIEINSERT, SOURCEIP or RULE from the Persistence dropdown and configure a timeout.
6. Choose a backup persistence method if desired.
7. Select the vServers to be grouped from the Available Virtual Servers list.
8. Click Add to move the vServers from the available list to the configured list.
From the command line interface (CLI):
Issue the following commands:
1. bind lb group <name of group> <vserver 1>
2. bind lb group <name of group> <vserver 2>
3. ....
4. set lb group <name of group> -persistenceType <persistence method> - persistenceBackup <backup persistence method>
