LP 4.2.2.34 Login Page behaving differently

Submitted by tausalic on Fri, 2010-02-26 20:37

 I upgraded from LP 4.2.0.7 to 4.2.2.34 recently in my test environment.  We have PD with two web tiers.   The login page has been completely rewritten.  It seems to have a sticky session.  Once you login to a web server you always hit that same server until you clear cookies.  This seems to defeat the purpose of having PD.  Not all users have their browsers set to clear cookies when they close the browser so they will always hit the same server.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Am I missing something?  I used to be able to go directly to each of the web servers by entering the url for that server but now I can only go to the first server that I hit.

Thanks for any comments on this, Alicia

check the stickness timeout

check the stickness timeout on the Load balancer. 3 weeks ago we upgraded to 4.2.2.34 and didnt have any issues. The stickness of a session is usually controlled at the load balancer.
