F5 Persistence SSL (Pass-through) Safari Browser Issue

I hope everyone is doing well. We have an odd issue with traffic through our F5. Let me start by saying that SSL and session for our website works just fine through IE8/IE7, Firefox/Mozilla, Chrome, Opera.

 

 

Basically we have a number of servers in our web farm, our website establishes session in two ways, SSL session ID through the IIS/F5 where a user is bound to a server, and the session that gets created with our own application as the user logs in.

 

 

Long story short, when a user accesses our site via Safari the SSL session is not working. They are bounce around all servers making it impossible for our application session to remain. We use inproc session in our .net website (no database) and our users on Safari are having an extremely poor experience.

 

 

Any help that you can provide is appreciated. I read a post about SSL Pass Through and OneConnect being enabled at the same time causing problems with page display but these users are not having issues with page display, just session.

 

 

Let me know if you need any details and I'll get them. I didn't configure this LTM but I am familiar with it.

 

 

Thanks,
