HAProxy behind two public agents on a DC/OS cluster

Hi,
I have the following setup:

and the problem is that when a petition comes in through haproxy01, then it is forwarded to Pub-agent1 and the user logs into the app, the next time we might be redirected from haproxy01 to Pub-agent2, so the user has to log in again. How would I solve this problem?

I guess one option would be stick on source, the other could be sending all traffic to one marathon-lb instance and when this one goes down, send everything to the other.

How are you handling those situations?

Hi,

Simply enable cookie based persistence.

Hi,
Thanks, Do I need to add something to Marathon-lb in order to work together with the previous HAProxy instance? I’ve seen that send-proxy-v2 and accept-proxy may be needed but I cannot get it to work. So traffic gets to Marathon-lb:443 but doesn’t forward to frontend_containerX

I have no idea what how marathon does manage HAProxy’s configuration.

Ok, but let’s say I have 2 HAProxy chained before the app itself, should I specify something on both HAProxy?

Let’s say I have:

User–>HAProxy1–>HAProxy2–>App

Thanks.

Nothing particular. You might want to know the client IP address at the app level, in such case, you have to enable Xforwardfor in HAProxy1.

So do you have any idea what could be happening with this setup?

I found the problem, I wasn’t passing the SNI from the first to the second load balancer:
