F5 SSL to backend server issue
Hi Guys,
I'm having a hard time creating an SSL VIP here.
I'm using the virtual edition 10.1 appliance.
I'm trying to configure this scenario:
Client => SSL => F5 => SSL => Backend SharePoint server
I use a standard type Virtual server
I configured a client SSL profile with a certificate
I configured a server SSL profile with a certificate
I'm using the same certificat on the SSl server profile and the SharePoint server
I'm using IE and FireFox.
Connection is established and I get a timeout message after several seconds.
Am I missing something here.
When I use the Perfomance HTTP type (bypassing Decryption/Encryption on the F5 box) the connection works fine.
I'm not an F5 expert by the way, just a SharePoint guy playing with the F5 virtual edition. I've been using the SharePoint template and SSL offloading on the F5 box for a while without issues and now I want to go full HTTPS to backend servers.
Thanks for your help
