F5 will not do Load balancing "only" for SSL connections!
Windows IIS7 server, has UCC SAN Certificate, and has the proper bindings modified via cscript for "hostname." The local host name does not match the UCC SAN certificate, forcing me to use "cscript." If you go directly to the server , the SSL certificate works perfectly (green lock on Chrome!) If I change DNS to point to the F5, the results are either "no connection" or invalid certificate. I want the F5 to ONLY load balance, not off-load the SSL. If I simply use "none" for both client and server SSL profiles, https never connects to the node. If I add client-only SSL, I connect, but my certificate fails to be approved.
Big IP LB and MS Web Deploy
Hi - I'm working on using MS Web Deploy to push new builds to several IIS servers. We use Big IP Load Balancer and want to create a script that that will check a given IIS server for current connections, stop new connections from being established, and then once current connections have ended stop new connections from happening. Then at the end of the script start to allow connections again. Any insight as to how I can accomplish this would be awesome!
