Nimbostratushttps virtual server terminating ssl at end servers side
Hi,
I am new in F5, I have some problem since several days in putting in place https virtual server terminating ssl at end servers (https end to end).
I have configure:
- 1 virtual server listening: https://10.0.0.1:10095
- 1 pool servers with 2 nodes
- 1 ssl client profile with certificat and key imported from end server
- no ssl server profile
When I run tests with the url: https://10.0.0.1:10095, I get the error below.
It seem that the F5 is seeing http request instead of https.
////////////////////////
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
Hint: https://10.0.0.1:10095/
//////////////////////
I also create an irule redirecting http to https, but it still not working.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
If it's not an HTTPS connection, send a redirect
if {not ($https)}{
HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]:10095
}
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
if {[HTTP::is_redirect]}{
Rewrite the Location header from http to https
HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {http:// https://} [HTTP::header value Location]]
}
}
Thank you for your help.
Maybe, I missed something on my configuration or a mistake.

Do you want to pass the SSL through unencrypted? If so, then you shouldn't add a client SSL or HTTP profile to the VS. If you want to decrypt and then re-encrypt the SSL, then you must add a client and server SSL profile to the VS.

menzo_110968I want to decrypt and then re-encrypt the SSL.
- I already tried with both client and server SSL profile (same cert/key), but it didn't work.
Whatever the solution, I need to make it work.
Thank you for your help.

So if you want to decrypt and then re-encrypt you will definitely need both a client and server ssl profile setting up, as Aaron mentioned previously.
If that still isn't working then, at a guess, could it be that you are listening on a random port (other than ssl port 443)? How have you setup the service port on the two pool members - are they set as 443? What port on the physical node itself is listening for ssl traffic? If that is only set as 443 then I imagine it may presume your random port is http, hence the failure. Or it could be port translation not checked?
This is totally a shot in the dark but thought it still worth mentioning - you never know.
