Hi Sam,

I would like to know if you can give me some advice specially related to how can we manage apache rules to do that.

Thanks a lot.

I'm tryin to execute login method of SakaiLoginPortal . The main problem is this:

As we use mod_jk as load balancer,  after that we execute the login method to obtain a session id,  we redirect to sakai portal  using sakai.session as part of url. This value is not valid all time, because node 1 or node 2 could not match with this session id (Depends of what node was response)

My question is: That is the expected result. Or maybe there are a problem with sticky session?

It's the expected result if you are creating a session on one of two nodes and then the user randomly lands on one of two nodes.

The easy solution: make sure you only create the session on only one node and make sure the user only lands on that same node.  Use Apache rules to send special URL paths to the same node every time.

The difficult solution: create a URL for the end-user that includes a parameter that will make Apache route the user to the correct node.  For example, if you create the session on node1, then the URL would look something like https://sakai.example.edu/portal/?sakai-session=xxxxxxxxx&JSESSIONID=xxxxxxx.node1
