as you can see in the article I wrote, you can use proxy without SSL, Forward Proxy license... in this case, BigIP doesn't decrypt TLS connections but accept it.

Hi Stanislas,

I'm running a cluster w/ TMOS v13 without SSL Forward Proxy license.

I've followed your article but I end up with the HTTP 503 error in the clients web browser.

 

However, your configuration works on my 3rd BIG-IP ( VE Lab license with SSL Forward Proxy included )

 

Any idea ?

 

Thanks.
