LTM SSL off-loading and headers

Have an LTM Virtual Server using Client-side SSL off-loading, so that different http-host URLs can be sent to different Pools. Server techs say they need to see the original packet headers with "the x-forwarder-for" packets. It appears that the F5 is stripping this information and replacing it. Is it possible for the F5 to forward the original header, while still examining the HTTPS header.

    You can do that with your http profile, there is an option to insert the x-forwarded-for header.

     

    By default LTM won’t replace the x-forwarded-for, actually it will add its own. If it’s doing that then there must be something in the configuration for that.
