You may need to use additional parameters or system properties. For example, the parameter `-b` for the binding host or the system property
`jboss.node.name` to specify the name of the route, as described in <<sticky-sessions,Sticky Sessions >> section.

We plan to support the setup where the route info won't be added to AUTH_SESSION_ID cookie by the {project_name} server, but instead by the load balancer. However Infinispan caches and will be attached to the AUTH_SESSION_ID cookie when the node is the owner of the particular key. An example of the
adding the cookie by {project_name} would be still the preferred option. start up command with this system property can be seen in <<_example-setup-with-mod-cluster,Mod Cluster Example>>.
Typically, the route name be the same name as your backend host, but it is not necessary. You can use a different route name,
for example if you want to hide the host name of your {project_name} server inside your private network.
==== Disable adding the route
Some load balancers can be configured to add the route information by themselves instead of relying on the back end {project_name} node.
However, as described above, adding the route by the {project_name} is recommended. This is because when done this way performance improves,
since {project_name} is aware of the entity that is the owner of particular session and can route to that node, which is not necessarily the local node.
You are permitted to disable adding route information to the AUTH_SESSION_ID cookie by {project_name}, if you prefer, by adding the following
into your `RHSSO_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml` file in the {project_name} subsystem configuration:
