Sorry for not getting back sooner.

 

 

I didn't expect adding a default pool to completely solve your problem, no, but I did/do expect it to eliminate the "Prerequisite operation not in progress" error. I have no expertise in SSL or IIS, so I can't help you debug why your LTM<->server connection isn't functioning correctly; sorry. Note that there's no way for the LTM to actually use the client cert on the serverside connection (as that would require the client private key, which the LTM doesn't have), so if your IIS server is setup to require them then that may be why it's giving you a 403.7 error. My only recommendation would be to use ssldump and try to figure out what IIS really wants.

 

 

Good luck!
