Proxy Handhsake failure

Hi all, sorry, I'm not an expert using F5 but I got a question for you. I'm using an iRule Proxy configured on a BIG-IP 13.1.1. Suddenly...and I don't know why, this proxy is still working but a...

It's not McAfee is it??? I recongise the Port number! (but others may use it as well - just a guess!)
So where is this flow error coming from? AV to Virtual server? Or f5 to pool member?
Where is 192.168.201.37:8081?? I'm guessing this is a f5 to pool member flow?

So to remove the encryption you just need to remove the client and server SSL profiles from the virtual server.
But there must be a way to check this, maybe even take a pcap of the flow and have a better look,
Possible f5 support could look at the config and that pcap for you with more understanding of what those errors mean.

This is the Virtual server configuration: everything seems to be disabled.

    Hi,

    Your in Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > [VIRTUAL SERVER] > Secuirty.
    SSL Certs are set at
    Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > [VIRTUAL SERVER]
    Under Configuration
    SSL Profile (Client) and SSL Profile (Server)

    And these policies are set in Local Traffic > Profiles > SSL > Client or Server as needed.
    Client is incoming so from web client to f5 and server is f5 to web server,
    From the looks of your in i'm guessing this is linked to the f5 to server comms so the SSL Server profile is being used.

     

    So possibly something in the server ssl profile is stopping you?
    You are in the range of looking at what updates have happened on the TrendMicro platform, and a f5 support call to try to deep dive into it.

      Thank you mate for your time.

      This is my configuration...and it seems correct: what do you think?

      I already check this and I can't see any blocking parameter.

        Hum interesting!!! - you don't actually have SSL turned on!!!
        The fields are blank! therefore its going striaght in and straight out.

        So, you might have already mentioned this. Where are those logs from???
        Is it the f5, the client or the server??? (TrendMicro side)
