Customised https port with ssl pass through

Hello

 

can I know if the ssl port for application is customised such as 9090 , on virtual server can I configure ssl pass through or I should still add client and ssl for f5 to understand it is a https traffic ??

  • The answer is - it depends.

     

    If you wish to use the http profile or irules to examine and modify the traffic, then use a client-ssl and server-ssl profile.

     

    If you do not need to use any of those features, then you can just have ssl passthrough.

     

    There is no recommendation because it entirely depends on what you need to do with the traffic.
