Oct 01, 2007Problems with ssl_session_id Check
Hi,
we terminate our ssl Traffic directly on the ltm. From the Ltm
to the node of our cluster it's unencrypted. Now we use a webcms System wich checks
the ssl_session_id on the several node. When a session exist the cms knows that it's https, when not then it starts a redirection to https. But because of the ssl encryption on the ltm the session_id only exist on the ltm not on the node. Is there a solution to fake the session on the node, or to set a static session_id?
check from the cms:
return $_SERVER['SSL_SESSION_ID'] || !strcmp($_SERVER['HTTPS'],'on') ? TRUE : FALSE;
Thanks

- If all you are doing is looking for a header of "SSL_SESSION_ID" or "HTTPS" you can easily add them with an iRule
when HTTP_REQUEST { Set the SSL_SESSION_ID header value to "12345" HTTP::header add "SSL_SESSION_ID" 12345 or set the SERVER header to "on" HTTP::header add "HTTPS" "on" }
