Kicked out of SSL on a 404 error

I'd guess that the web application might be sending a redirect to a custom, non-HTTPS 404 page. If this is the case, you could try using rewrite redirects on your HTTP profile.

 

 

To confirm this you can check the server's response in a tcpdump or using a clientside tool like LiveHTTPheaders or HTTPwatch.

Yes the server was sending a redirect to non ssl URL. Thanks for the help and reference to the HTTP headers tool as that is what I used to determine the response sent.

 

 

STEPS USED TO CORRECT:

 

In BIGIP Configuration:

 

1) create new profile and set Setting->Redirect Rewrite=All

 

2) on Virtual Server entry set Configuration->HTTP Profile=.

 

3) press Update button

 

 

Done.
