Hello,
i’m trying to configure 2 backends (citrix storefront) active-active with haproxy. Backends are in https. When i log in node1 and i disconnect the node for test the node2, haproxy not “save” the credentials and i have to log in again. Is it possible to save sessions and pass them to node2 when node1 fails? I have tested several configurations in both tcp mode and http mode
Examples:
http mode:
[…]
bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /etc/pki/tls/private/mycert.pem
[…]
backend mybackend
mode http
cookie SRVNAME insert
server node1 192.168.1.1:443 ssl check cookie app1
server node2 192.168.1.2:443 ssl check cookie app1
tcp mode:
[…]
mode tcp
bind 0.0.0.0:443
[…]
backend mybackend
mode tcp
server node1 192.168.1.1:443
server node2 192.168.1.2:443
thank you so much

No, haproxy cannot write to your backend databases.

It doesn’t matter.
Haproxy can use stickiness to make sure one browser session always hits the same server, but it cannot synchronize your backends with each other.
I strongly suggest you talk to your application people.
