Hi Tech, you need to use the EBS configuration wizard or AutoConfig for both HTTP and SSL load balancing/offloading for EBS servers. You MUST use these tools to properly configure the EBS environment to be aware of an external load balancer, and additionally an external SSL offload device like the big-ip.
AutoConfig is a commandline tool that is run on each EBS web/app server in the big-ip pool. It does STOP/START services, so don't run this on a production server with active users, you could corrupt transactions/database tables and disconnect active users.
The Wizard is a UI tool in the EBS Console that will walk you through the configuration questions/answers. You will need to run both the HTTP load balancing, and the SSL wizards. An example is located here:
https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/ssl_advanced_configuration_wizard_ebs12
Also, within Oracle support, I highly recommend that you read and understand the EBS whitepaper on using load balancers with EBS, a must read for getting the EBS environment correctly configured.
"Using Load-Balancers with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 380489.1]"
Then use the F5 deployment guide, or iApp template to configure your big-ip for EBS.
Good luck,
-Chris.
