I'm not clear what the situation here is, but I assume that you're referring to SSL enabled web servers behind the BigIP and you're not offloading - instead, you're passing through to the back end.

 

 

If this is the case, your issue is because the HTTP profile expects to be able to see the layer 7 protocol information (i.e. HTTP). If you're not terminating SSL the system can't see this traffic because it's encrypted.
