Encrypt traffic only between F5 LTM and server(s), keep client side traffic HTTP
This is a strange request, but I have a customer that wants to encrypt traffic between the F5 LTM and their server(s) only, and from the client side keep it HTTP. I realize this is probably not best practice, as well as inefficient, but is this even possible?
Scenario requested: 1. Client accesses virtual server on http. 2. LTM encrypts and forwards request to server(s) via SSL (self signed). 3. Server responds back to LTM with request via SSL. 4. LTM decrypts request and forwards back to client HTTP.
