F5 recommended configuration for Microsoft IIS
Hi,
This question can be sound very trivial and basic but I have very high level knowledge on F5 and I am a developer with no prior knowledge and background on network administration. Any help is very much appreciated
We are using BIG-IP 11.4.1 LTM for load balancing HTTP requests to IIS version 6.2 on winodws 2012 r2 . The problem I am facing is when I browse to https:/// the IIS home page gets displayed properly. In case I browse to https:/// the connection gets reset. When I browse to http:/// I am able to see the IIS home page.
The underlying IIS server binds to both 80 and 443. The I have configured using Iapp & f5.microsoft_iis template with HTTPS offload. When I configured the same vip-host-name from Iapp using "plain text to both server and client" things are working as expected. The load balancing pool is configured for IIS server on 80 port. There is only one server in the pool
From tcpdump I am able to see the tcp connection from the IIS server to big ip getting reset.
My question is there any specific IIS/F5 configuration that has to be done to correct this issue.
