SSL offload and HTTPs persistence
Hi, Currently i have HTTP clients accessing two Servers in a pool behind an F5. I need persistence towards the two Servers and im using a Persistence Profile with HTTP iRule . Now the customer wants to use HTTPS Clients towards the two Servers which will have HTTPS ports configured. As i want to keep persistence towards the two Servers i understand from reading other posts here that i need to offload SSL in F5 so decrypt, run HTTP Persistence iRule and then encrypt again. Am i correct in that thinking? Im wondering about the way to implement this on F5. Both Servers will have the same SSL cert/key. To make this work do i create a VS with type "standard" and then create a Client and Server SSL Profile using the SSL cert/key from the Servers? As regards the iRule, do i need to modify the rule below replacing HTTP with HTTPS or leave it as is?
LTM 11.5 L4 VS and SSL Persistence terminates IE8 Connections
After upgrading to 11.5 (from 10.x), a Website stopped working with IE8 - FireFox 24.1.1 was working well. (actually in most of the cases just one HTTP Request passed in a 'keep-alive' connection). While troubleshooting I realized, that this issue is caused by the SSL Persistence Profile which was attached to the Virtual Server. The VS is configured as L4 Service (no SSL Termination). I'm aware, that Version 11.5 does not make use of SSLv3. So I think this is somehow related. Anybody else who see the same behaviour?
