use-new-stateful-on-error

use-new-stateful-on-error = {yes|no}

Description

Control how WebSEAL responds to a stateful server that becomes unavailable.

This configuration item may be customized for a particular junction by adding the adjusted configuration item to a [junction:{junction_name}] stanza. where {junction_name} refers to the junction point for a standard junction (including the leading / character) or the virtual host label for a virtual host junction. For example:

[junction:/WebApp]

Options

yes

When set to "yes" and the original server becomes unavailable during a session, WebSEAL directs the user's next request (containing the original stateful cookie) to a new replica server on the same stateful junction. If a new replica server is found on that stateful junction, and is responsive to the request, WebSEAL sets a new stateful cookie on the user's browser. Subsequent requests during this same session (and containing the new stateful cookie) are directed to this same new server.

no

When set to "no" and the original server becomes unavailable during a session, WebSEAL does not direct the user's subsequent requests to a new replica server on the same stateful junction. Instead, WebSEAL returns an error and attempts to access the same server for subsequent requests by the user during this session.

Usage: Required.

Default value no

Example:

use-new-stateful-on-error = yes
