Aug 31, 2009Skyout: think of it this way - if you're terminating SSL on the servers, the BigIP has no visibility above layer 4 (basic TCP level stuff). Cookies and such are up at layer 7, and an HTTP profile applied to a virtual server essentially tells the BigIP "this is a layer 7 virtual server". This is why you're not working correctly.
