Siebel and SSL Off Loading

Question

Hey All,&nbsp;
Has anyone load balanced Siebel 8.1 web frontends and performed SSL off-loading?  At the moment the Siebel web frontends will only accept encrypted traffic so it pretty much defeats the purpose of doing SSL off-loading on the load balancer.  I'm pretty sure there has to be a parameter adjusted on the Siebel web servers to make them aware that there's a load balancer handling SSL but nobody seems to know.&nbsp;

Are you trying to offload SSL in order to save system resources on the Siebel servers, or are you looking to offload in order to implement application logic on the F5?&nbsp;

Though not what you're asking, you could set up a client-ssl profile, server-ssl profile, and enable one-connect. Connection reuse could save you quite a bit resource-wise on any backend web servers
