HTTPS sideband connection with certificate authentication

Hello

Is it possible to make a https sideband connection with certificate authentication from a custom iRule.

The connection I need is the same as the one created with this curl command:

curl --cacert /root/CA.pem -d "

date
" --cert /root/cert.pem:admincert https://server.domain.int:550/OTP/rest/service/generate

  • Hello,

     

    You can do an http sideband connection. Https is not possible in direct, you have to configure a VS that listen on http and send to an https pool member. Your sideband connection then establish a session in http to that "sideband" VS. For the client certificate authentication, you should define a specific serverssl profile in your "sideband" VS.
