Proxy Server issue using iRule

Hello F5 World,

 

 

I'm new to the product and using v4.5.14. I've recently setup a 127.1.0.1:443 VIP (per F5 support recommendations) for a web server sitting behind the BIG-IP.

 

 

Current config:

 

 

Proxy Server 192.x.x.x:443, destination host = 127.1.0.1:443, Proxy Type = SSL, ServerSSL.

 

 

Noticed that the rule that were in place for the 127.1.0.1 VIP where basically being ignored during testing yesterday. I then had to use a configured pool. Any reason why the rules failed. There rules worked on other VIP:80

 

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Maybe what you need is proxy on port 443, vip on port 80, then rule, sending to a pool of servers on port 443 if you want to do re-encryption. Support should be able to help you figure out why it isn't working. I think it should work though. I know it works differently in v9 and definitely works there.
