NimbostratusIT POSSIBLE USE F5 LTM TO INVOKE INTERNET HTTPS SERVICE?
Hello DEVCENTRAL
I have the next situation, actually on our enterprise we are replacing the apache servers , that bring the reverse proxy service, by a F5 LTM, in fact it work incredible, but yesterday my boss ask me if we can use LTM for invoke a web service exposed by a goverment entity over internet throught https, of course i have all the certificates of the partner webservice, i relatibly new on f5 and never see this kind of use for F5 LTM, its is possible?
The main idea is to access the service by http from internal client or application and let the https flow throught the external F5 LTM to the exposed web service?
MAybe someone faced a similar situation in the past, thanks!!
this is the diagram of my question

Hi, I confirm it is absolutely possible. You can create a pool with a member pointing to the ip address or more likerly the FQDN of the external server. Then, create a VS listening on port 80 and using the previous pool and a server SSL profile.
