Load balancing F5 VIP server was changed from IP persistence to Cookies persistence
This is causing the session to be logged out
How do we cache the session in Katalon?
Hi @joynab.amin,
Thank you for sharing your issue.
Can you please help give more information such as the error log, the screenshot or video recording, version, …?
Katalon does not provide any solution for this out of box.
Here is my previous attempt to carry over cookies from a session to another.
But 3 years have passed since I worked on the issue. I haven’t used this code for years. Possibly this project would not work on recent version of Chrome browser any longer.
This project would demonstrate to you how much of programming efforts will be required to solve your problem.
Which of the following is your priority?
- to test your web apps behind the Load Balancer?
- to test the Load Balancer that implements the session persistence using Cookies?
If you want to test your web apps, then you should avoid F5 VIP server involved in your tests for your backend web servers. I would recommend you to by-pass the load balancers, which make things difficult for WebDriver-based UI automation tooks like Katalon Studio. How to do it? It is simple. You do not want to specify the endpoint URL which the Load Balancer exposes. You want to specify the URL of the web servers with the static IP address as the host name.
