Openfire

Hi,
I have deployed openfire in k8s cluster as a statefulset, it works fine when the pod count is 1 but when i try to increase pod count to more than 1, I am getting error “A failure occurred while fetching your session from the server. This is typically a cookie issue. Please either clear all cookies for this domain or try this URL again from an incognito browser session.” while doing profile settings using wizard. Is it because openfire doesn’t provide horizontal auto scaling ?

When you’re using more than one Openfire instance, you will need to set up clustering. Even then, you will need to use an equivalent to ‘sticky sessions’ to direct all requests from one user’s session to the same cluster node.
