Certificate SSL Virtual Server

Hi, when I use SSL at virtual server to portal page it generate this message: Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x03

 

5 Replies

  • \x16\x03\x03 looks like an SSL ClientHello (or some other client-initiated SSL handshake message.

     

    How do you have the SSL profile configured and how do you have the profile applied to the virtual server?

     

  • Are you seeing the error logs on the F5 LTM ? Any other logs associated with it - before/after the logs ?

     

    1. Are you using client and server ssl profiles ?

       

    2. Can you try to telnet to your pool member from bigip : telnet ip port Then type: GET /

       

    See if the server responds , if you get content back it might be that your server does not expect ssl traffic.

      1. Yes, I use client and server ssl profiles.
      2. I do telnet IP Virtual server and port 443, the conection is ok, but GET / not response If I do telnet IP server and other port, the conection is ok and GET / response ok.

      Then try this.

       

      From loadblancer:

       

      openssl s_client -connect pool_member_ip:443

       

      Then type "GET /"

       

      If you get response it means thatbserver ssl configuration is ok if not then it means you have to take closer look at it.
