Rick,

 

 

Quick question. I'm looking at the irule you have posted. Is this for passing the starttls onto the server or for offloading onto the f5? I have a setup that is just a passthrough. I.E. the f5 just passes this on to server and the server and client communicate tls. It's not working properly and I found your post on devcentral but I'm not sure if this would work in my setup. On my vips I dont have an ssl profile so I'm not sure about the ssl:disable ssl:enable in the rule.
