Description

12.1 build 50.31 Web App Firewall blocks all requests if duplicate cookies are found. This is also done, when Cookie Consistency is configured only to log the communication. If Cookie Consistency is turned off completely the communication is permitted. 

Resolution

Change the default behaviour from APPFW_RFC_BLOCK to APPFW_RFC_BYPASS on your Profile settings

You can also disable the Logging mechanism of the bypass function by issuing the following command on the CLI
> set rfcprofile APPFW_RFC_BYPASS -duplicateCookieName stats

Problem Cause

default behaviour from AppFW  is for HTTP requests to be RFC compliant
