Cannot establish IPHTTPS connection.

Hello,

 

 

I've a Direct Access test lab with a weird problem that I'm unable to resolve.

 

 

 

During setup I've configured a VIP for IPHTTPS as per F5 & UAG guide. (http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/f5-uag-dg.pdf)

 

 

 

The VIP type that I used is Perfomance (Layer 4) as mentioned in the guide.

 

However, when clients from the internet tries to establish an IPHTTPS tunnel to one of my DA servers it fails with the following error:

 

 

 

Interface Status: failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server. Waiting to reconnect

 

 

 

But:

 

 

 

If I change the type of the VIP from Performance (Layer 4) to Performance (HTTP), then clients connections starts working just fine.

 

It does take too long until a connection is established but eventually it works.

 

 

 

 

 

I was wondering how can I make it work when VIP is configured with Performance (Layer 4)?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,
