Integrating SSL in Big IP and JBoss/Tomcat

Hi Fernando,

 

A couple of things. If you have locked down the JBOSS so that nothing except the client can access it through the Virtual address then the assumption is that it is encrypted. However, another way is to associate an irule that attaches a custom HTTP header that can be sent to JBOSS. The idea is that if it has this custom header only when accessed via the VIP that carries the SSL. I am sure you can search for a script that allows you to attach a custom HTTP header.

 

 

Hope this helps
