SSL-Ofloading on Port 8081 !!!

 

I have a requirement of doing an client ssl offload on the BIG-IP.

 

Currently, the VIP is 10.10.10.10 and the below is working fine

 

http://10.10.10.10:8081/sm/index.do

 

We need to change it into https://

 

For eg: a user will enter in the browser https://10.10.10.10 and it should work.

 

How to achieve this? or what is the right way to get it done?

 

Hope this explains you the issue.

 

Thanks,

 

Regards,

    Hello Mubasher,

     

     

    You have two options

     

    1. create one VIP 10.10.10.10 and use iRules to route traffic for both 80 an 443

     

    2. create two entries for same VIP , one for http and one for https and you can define the ports while creating this. on the https VIP you can do the SSL Offloading.

     

    import SSL Cert into F5

     

    Create a SSL client profile

     

    Select the client profile on the HTTPs Virtual Server for SSL Offloading.

     

     

    Hope this helps as a high level steps.

     

     

    Regards

     

    Sriram.
