Layer7 API Management

The Client is passing in a Dynamic cookie (example:- OpenIDConnect.nounce.A1234awds). The Last String is dynamically generated by the client. What is the best way to read this cookie on the API Gateway?

Hi Venky-Rams

Is "OpenIDConnect.nounce.A1234awds" the cookie name or value that is dynamic? 

If the VALUE is dynamic you can retrieve this by using the context variable: ${request.http.cookievalues.<name>}

If the NAME is dynamic you may be able to use some regex along these lines. This will match any 9 characters after the nounce value.

OpenIDConnect.nounce.[a-zA-Z0-9]{9}

Hi Joe,

The regex part  is cool.

But can we get the cookie value using regex in the name? like, ${request.http.cookievalues.OpenIDConnect.nounce.[a-zA-Z0-9]{9}} ?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I don't think we can do that part (nor can we nest variables). You would need to pull all the cookies, ${request.http.cookies}, and use the regex against this to pull out the specific value for the name.
