Feb 26, 2010SSL over port 8080
I have a web server that has two sites running on it. One on port 80, and the other on port 8080.
I have a 3 virtual servers created on the F5. One for port 80, one for port 8080, and another for 443.
On the one for port 80, I have an iRule attached, so when somebody types in http://servername.domain.com it redirects it automatically to https://servername.domain.com
It works quite well.
I need to get SSL working for the one on port 8080, and can't seem to figure it out. I tried using my originally iRule that just does a redirect to https: like I have for the site on port 80, and it didn't work. I created a 2nd iRule and just manually typed in the URL I wanted it to direct it to instead of the host value (https://servername.domain.com:8080)which didn't work either.
I can't seem to get the site running on port 8080 to work with SSL.
Any hints?
Just using the standard iRules for http to https redirects:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]
}
Also tried:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::redirect https://servername.domain.com:8080
}

Nitass,
It works with https://9.9.9.9:9089 directly from switch behind LTM.
I can curl -k https://9.9.9.9:9089 but get error when I curl the VIP 10.10.10.10 --- curl: (52) SSL Read: error: 00000000:lib(0) : reason(0), errno (104).
Tested with clientssl and serverssl without irule no show! Not sure it will work without the irule. A little search appears to indicate that irule is required in order to run SSL on non-default port 443. But I cannot get it to work for me.
Not given up because it's a requirement and the developers are on my neck.
Help!! Help!! - Elias_O_16228

It is working now without irule. Thanks all. My apologies for assumptions!
Root cause:
The Firewall guy (brain fagged me) did not allow port 9089...Dough!!!. It hit my nockle brain when I could not see anything on tcpdump...Hep!@ Hep!! hurray! The developers can get off my back now.
Thanks all.
