F5 load balancer issues with TFS 2018. Adding port 8080 when coming from load balancer
we are having F5 load balancer which is running on port 80 and we have two tfs 2018 servers which are load balanced and are running on port 8080. we are having a weird issue. when using TFS if a user is navigating to the build section it adds port 8080 to the URL. which causes the application to break. in our original URL we do not have a port numbers. ....*/tfs/. usually all the traffic comes to load balancer which is running on port 80 and then redirects to tfs server which is running on port 8080.
we asked the network team and even contacted Microsoft for support. They told us to see if preserve host headers are enabled on F5 and the network team said it is not enabled. we are having this issue from last two months.
Most of the times TFS runs fine with load balancer. But sometimes in certain sections of the application if the user clicks it adds port 8080 to the URL.
Any input from you is greatly appreciated.
