Configuration changes between 1.10.2 and 1.12

This describes the configuration changes between ESB3024 Router version 1.10.2 and 1.12.0/1.12.1.

Confd configuration changes

Below are the major changes to the confd configuration between versions 1.10.2 and 1.12.0/1.12.1. Note that there are no configuration changes between versions 1.12.0 and 1.12.1, so the differences apply to both.

Added services.routing.translationFunctions.hostRequest

A new translation function has been added which will allow custom Lua code to modify requests to backend hosts before they are sent.

Added services.routing.translationFunctions.session

A new translation function has been added which will allow custom Lua code to be executed after the router has made the routing decision but before generating the redirect URL.

An example use case would be for enabling instream sessions, which can be done by setting this value to return set_session_type('instream').

Removed services.routing.settins.managedSessions configuration

This configuration is no longger used.

Added services.routing.tuning.general.maxActiveManagedSessions tuning parameter.

This parameter configures the maximum number of active managed sessions.
