ssl proxy and http redirect

I have a website running on port 80

 

 

i want to redirect http connections to be https connections

 

 

and the internal communication to be on port 80 between load balancer and website

 

if i am correct big-ip should act act as ssl proxy between client and server

 

 

can i acheive this in version 4.5 ptf 013

 

 

  • The way you could do it is to

    1. Right up a rule that does the redirect

     
     rule redirect_rule { 
     redirect to "https://%h/%u" 
     } 
     

    2. Create a Virtual on port 80 and associate the irule to it.

    3. Create virtual loopback 127.0.0.2x:80 pointing to the pool.

    4. Create a Proxy SSL and point it to the virtual loopback.

    That should be pretty much do it

    Hope that helps
