Hi Leo,

I have a lab with a slightly different configuration than yours.
In my lab, HAProxy decipher the traffic, log everything then recipher
the traffic to the server. Like a man in the middle.
I have a round robin algorithm + no session persistence + option
http-server-close.

I ran the same test as yours.

>From my lab platform, I can see those URLs requested, in front the
server that was used:
exch1: "POST 
/ecp/DDI/DDIService.svc/SetObject?schema=PasswordService&msExchEcpCanary=<SOME
BLAH BLAH HERE> HTTP/1.1"
exch2: "GET /ecp/PersonalSettings/logoff.aspx?src=exch HTTP/1.1"
exch1: "GET /owa/logoff.owa HTTP/1.1"
exch2: "GET 
/owa/auth/logon.aspx?url=https%3a%2f%2fmail.2013.haproxylab.net%2fowa%2flogoff.owa&reason=0
HTTP/1.1"

so sounds normal I'm logged out after a password update: application design.

That said, your configuration should not produce this effect, since
all your requests are routed to a single server.
An other point: my password has been changed, but now I can't change
it anymore due to a password policy issue (whatever I type in, it says
my password is too weak)...

I'll investigate on this in my platform and keep you updated.

Can you tell us exactly how your netscaller is configured and works
with exchange 2013?

Baptiste
