Sharepoint on port 80 and port 443
Hi all, I am still very new to F5 and have been struggling a lot lately, I am just bumbling my way through at the moment.
I have a requirement to Load Balance traffic to our sharepoint site. I have an F5 HA pair, and 2 SharePoint Front End Servers behind the F5s. The sharepoint servers have a site for Port 80 and a site for Port 443.
I have built a Virtual Server on the F5 using the iApp template for port 80 and tested it and I can reach the site on Port 80.
Here is where I am struggling...
I now need to load balance port 443 traffic to the site. I have built a virtual server using the iApp again but this time using port 443. I don't really want to offload SSL I would rather pass it through to the servers, unless you think I have to? I have used the same VIP for the Virtual Server as both http and https use the same DNS address intranet.domain.com. When I try to access the site on https the browser just sort of hangs and says waiting for site.
I have tried to create a new pool with nodes that use https, and assign that to the Virtual Server but I had no joy. I am running out of idea and would very much appreciate some help please as I am a little lost now. I am probably doing something really stupid.
If I'm reading your config correctly, you have an HTTP profile applied to your 443 virtual server but no SSL profiles to terminate the SSL. If you remove the HTTP profile, it should make this work.
