X-Forwarded-for with SSL Passthrough (no offloading on LTM)
Hi,
Is there a way to get X-forwarded-for working with SSL passthrough (NO offloading)?
I have some system owners who refuse to have any form of "man in the middle" sessions and require the F5 to pass all SSL sessions directly to the web servers, so I cannot do any form of SSL offloading or SSL Proxy'ing.
I've had success using an HTTP profile with x-forwarded-for enabled, however, I know you cannot use an HTTP profile if the VS is set to use 443.
Is there perhaps an iRule I could use and if so what would it look like, or something else as simple as enabling X-forwarded-for elsewhere?
(I'm very new to F5 / LTM so any detailed steps would be greatly appreciated)
Thanks in advance!
