xMadi,

 

You are correct. You need to upload a valid certificate and use it in the client-ssl profile. If you do not care about the internal certificate, you can use the serverssl-insecure-compatible profile.

 

Instead of an iRule, maybe you can you a policy for the HTTP header based operations.

 

Regards, Martijn.

Marek,

 

You should take a look at a LTM policy (Local Traffic -> Policies).

 

You can create rule within a LTM policy that forwards traffic to a pool based on HTTP header. Off course you can do the same with an iRule, but if you can do it in the GUI, you should do it there.

 

Good luck.

 

Martijn.
