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.

yes, you should create a custom client and server SSL profile and enable it on both. Be sure to read the SOL for any gotchas. Also, you say you need an HTTP profile for persistence. What kind of persistence are you using?
