When adding a server dynamically, we observe that when a backend has a dynamic persistence cookie, the new server has no cookie as we receive the following HTTP header: set-cookie: test-cookie=; Expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT; path=/ Whereas we were expecting to receive something like the following, which is what we receive for a server added in the config file: set-cookie: test-cookie=abcdef1234567890; path=/
After investigating code path, srv_set_dyncookie() is never called when adding a server through CLI, it is only called when parsing config file or using "set server bkd1/srv1 addr". To fix this, call srv_set_dyncookie() inside cli_parse_add_server(). This patch must be backported up to 2.4. --- src/server.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/server.c b/src/server.c index 555cae82c..a93798f03 100644 --- a/src/server.c +++ b/src/server.c @@ -5732,6 +5732,11 @@ static int cli_parse_add_server(char **args, char *payload, struct appctx *appct */ srv->rid = (srv_id_reuse_cnt) ?
