Hello, I would like to utilize F5 to implement the following configuration; Client<----http----->F5<-----https---->Server So F5 will receive http requests from client and forwards those requests to server as https. Is it possible to configure F5 in that way?

Sure, it can be done. You will have to configure: 1) A Virtual Server with serverside SSL profile (default suits fine) :80 2) A Pool with members :443 In a scenario above, F5 accepts a clientside request via non-encrypted HTTP. Establishes a SSL session with a backend server (acting as a client). Routes the request to a backend server.
