Hi Miguel,

Do you see a TCL error in /var/log/ltm when the client SSL profile is set to require? Is the client sending a cert? I haven't done much with client certs and iRules, but that's the first thing I'd check. Maybe someone else could weigh in on this?

For the Location header rewrite, you could either enable rewriting of redirects on the HTTP profile or you could use an iRule: 

 
 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]]  
    } 
 }
