General Question for VS

I have A VS on 443 and ssl offloading on the VS. The pool members are on port 80. When trying to open the secure URL https://xxx.xx.com i only can see secure content > but on the server the same uri is opening well on port 80. Is it because of the SSL ? Should the servers be also on 443?

    Hi souravkayal, The servers don't need to listen on port 443, you must ensure that port translation is enabled on the vs and that there is no serverside ssl profile assigned.

    You are not very clear in the description of the issue. Are you getting a "mixed content" warning from the SSL page?

     

    Does your origin webserver respond with any absolute URIs embedded in the HTML source?

     

    i.e http://webserver.name/path/file

     

    If so, you need to tell the origin web server to change those references the HTTPS, or redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS, or change the references using an irule and a stream expression.
