ARR Caching and Routing Question

Question

User-1011220612 posted

Is there any way to configure ARR so that a user's session comes in through the gateway and essentially sticks with the content server vs when requests come in following the round-robin request control?  There is an issue where we need them to stay on the content server that they initiate their login to.

Hi HabaneroS,

One feature about ARR is client affinity.  ARR can affinitize all requests from a client to a content server by using cookie. All subsequent requests from the same client would be routed to the same content server for the duration of the client session. This feature is useful if the application on the content server is stateful and the client's requests must be routed to the same content server because the session management is not centralized.

It is not set in ARR but in server farm. Create a server farm and see its icon, choose the server affinity.

Check the client affinity and apply to enable this feature.

Best regards,
