BIP-IP resets HTTPS connections

I currently use my BIG-IP LTM in a reverse proxy configuration. I can access the backend server's main web page on port 443 but when I want to access an application on the backend server that redirects traffic to port 7002, I get a connection reset error (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET) message. But if I access the server directly on the same port, I get an error 403 message. A packet trace shows that it is the BIG-IP that issue the connection reset. I don't know why and I don't know how to eliviate that.

 

Regards, Alain

  • serverssl { context serverside }

     

    That's the one you'll want to change.

     

    [Local Traffic] -> [Profiles] -> [SSL] -> [Server]

     

    Since "serverssl" is the box default, it would not be a bad idea to create a new one to use for this. Changing Secure Renegotiation to "Request" is just a drop down at that point.

     

  • This is exactly what I did and it works now.

     

    Many thanks for your prompt responses and great support.
