Not sure if this is the correct forum, it fits in WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server as well...

My question is: How to set "IgnoreAffinityRequests" property in plugin-cfg.xml via admin console? 

Christoph, right now I do not have any WAS console handy where I can check that, but I would guess one out of two:

- either you disable Session Affinity somewhere in Web-Container and/or Session Mgmt, or
- you add a custom property in the web plugin with the new value

Cheers 

Thans for your suggestions.
I just did a quick research and came up with this link: www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=s...

I tested setting IgnoreAffinityRequests=false as a web server plugin custom property and re-generated the plugin configuration and it worked.


However IgnoreAffinityRequests is set as an attribute for ServerCluster in plugin-cfg.xml, therefore it should be possible to set this property per cluster. Setting it as a web server plugin custom property sets it for all clusters.
Is this property "all or nothing" or can it be set for specific clusters?

You might give a try in the Custom properties of the cluster's session mgmt screen in the console (Servers > Application Servers > cluster_member_name > Session management). That might do the trick.

I just tested setting this as a custom property in cluster member's session management, with no affect for plugin-cfg.xml

Try setting it Servers > Web Servers > "webserver name" Plug-in properties > Custom properties

I already tested that, it works in the way that IgnoreAffinityRequests is set accordingly for all Application Servers in plugin-cfg.xml.
I am searching for a way to set this property individually per server.
