Sideband request with Helper Virtual for SSL

Hi,

 

i am doing a sidebanding-request to an external host with ssl. I know that for SSL i need to use a helper virtual server. Now, i have a helper virtual server which has a client- and server-ssl profile assigned. As soon as this virtual has a clientssl profile, the sidebanding request fails with "Connection error: ssl_passthru:2761: not SSL (71)". Is it somehow possible to work around this and enable the sideband request to connect to the virtual through http even if there is a clientssl profile assigned?

 

The funny thing is, this worked some weeks ago, and i guess there has been some configuration on the http-profiles or anywhere else that now doesnt let my sideband request through...

 

Thanks in advance, Rene

    The easiest thing would probably be to do HTTP on the client side of the sideband helper VIP, and HTTPS on the server side.

    Update: Now after some configuration trials, i get a strange message in the logs: Feb 25 13:58:07 atviesbf5bvrb err tmm[29876]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/TOKEN_SSO - Connection failed for /Common/testvirtual.com_https [Traffic rejected] (line 1) invoked from within "connect -timeout 10000 -idle 30 -status conn_status $tempName" This is something new and just popped up as i allowed access to all VLANs and Tunnels. What does this actually mean in terms of why is it rejected now?
