HTTPS connection problems

I’m new to F5 and Big-IP, but I’m trying to setup an HTTPS (443) connection to two SAP servers and each of the SAP servers has two web services running on them no ports 51101 & 51201.

 

 

Basic load balancing works but lands me on the wrong page, I no how to do the header redirect, but as soon as I enable the HTTP Profile on the virtual server connectivity to SAP web servers stops working. I done a TCPDUMP and with the HTTP Profile enabled no traffic comes out of the big-ip box. Any ideas ???

    It sounds like you don't have a client SSL profile configured on the virtual server. If you do not, and you add an HTTP profile, LTM will try and not be able to decrypt the traffic. As a result, no connection to the pool will be attempted. If you import the SSL cert/key, create a client SSL profile and add it to the VIP, you should be able to use an HTTP profile and HTTP based iRule.

    Thanks for the reply Aaron, I think you pointed me in the right direction and now it looks like I’ve just got a certificate problem which I need to fix.

     

     

    Thanks again.
