Hi Robdtec,

 

 

The change from HTTP to HTTPS passthrough is really not that difficult. Ensure that your pool members are either :0 or the port your FEs are listening for https requests on (generally 443 but not always) and that your VIP port is 443 (or, again, whatever port you prefer.) Ensure there are no SSL profiles enabled and you should be good to go.

 

 

In this configuration, the SSL certificate will be served from the FE and if the FQDN doesn't match the cert your browser will just let you know it's not trusted by default. If it's still not working you'll want to check the logs on the FE or run some TCPDumps to see what's going on.

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

John
