Outbound IP forwarding VIP hitting a HTTPS website but not authenticating SSL
Hello People I was requested to configure an outbound VIP to an external resource which would use HTTPS so there is an element of SSL involved here, However as this is an outbound connection. The SSL Offload doesnt take place on the F5 Loadbalancer, But the initiator of the traffic which is a back end server in pool makes the requests. the F5 simply passes this traffic through we have an ACL on our Border firewall and we have proved the connection is making it to the external site, however the Dev guy is complaining to me that hes getting SSL connect error. After providing some solutions which i googled on the internet he needs to download the certificates, key and chain and place them on the server so that the SSL handshake can take place once he gets to the site. Im not sure what else i can do from the F5 perspective as we are not offloading SSL at LTM level. The SSL takes places on the website after we have forwarded the traffic on. The Firewall is doing a basic NAT and prior to us configuring the forwarding VIP and the ACLs, he server guy was unable to connect, so we are almost there in terms of connectivity but there has been no joy with the SSL connection.
What can be wrong with the IP Forewarding settings, Ive looked at snat etc which is set to "None" most of all the other settings are default
Running out of options here and any suggestions would help me a great deal
Thanks in advance for any takers?
