Hi, I am building a POC for Client SSl VPN with F5 APM in AWS. Since we are using AWS I would like to use L7 ACLs instead of L4 since IP addresses keep changing in AWS. I got it working for http but not for https. In another post I found this: https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm-config-11-4-0/apm_config_resources.html147209 You can use a Layer 4 or Layer 7 ACL with network access, web applications, or web access management connections, with the following configuration notes. With network access, you can use a Layer 7 ACL that is configured to provide access control for port 80 HTTP connections. However, if you want to provide access control for anything that is not on port 80, you must create a second virtual server, configured with the IP address to which the ACL entry applies, and the default access profile, access. For HTTPS network access connections, you can use Layer 7 ACL entries only if the virtual server has the private key of the backend server. Does that really means I will have to create an additional VS for every single URL I want to access via https and also need the key for that URL? I hope not.
