Hi Bart, your first config is called SSL decrypt / re-encrypt, and is quite common with big-ip. You will need to use both the Client SSL and Server SSL Profiles on your virtual server.

 

There is some good info on how big-ip handles SSL traffic here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/12000/000/sol12015.html?sr=10905129

 

 

When you say "does not work", can you clarify - no TCP connection, no/bad ssl handshake, ssl cert error, other ? Have you looked at the traffic with any tools - httpwatch, fiddler, etc ?
