How to configure SSL Pass-through

Currently I have a standard VIP setup using a SSL client profile and SSL server profile. How do I configure it for pass-through?

If you want to still be able to use an HTTP profile you will have to select the Proxy SSL option in both of your profiles. That will also require your pool members to support all the ciphers you make available in the client SSL profile and you will need to disable Diffie-Hellman ciphers. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/300/sol13385.html

 

If you don't need to use an HTTP profile you can just remove both of your client and server SSL profiles.

I do have to use the HTTP profile because I need to have a persistence setting SSLSERVER. But can this be done just on the VIP or do I have to create a custom server profile just for this VIP so I don't affect the parent profile for other VIP's and select the Proxy SSL. Also to confirm I need to do this on the Client and the Server side SSL profile?
