Connections to outside databases timeout
Hi All,
I have a situation where outgoing connections from a pair of load-balanced shibboleth servers to a non-load-balanced oracle database are timing out after five minutes. Prior to being moved to the F5 LTM, this was not happening.
We addressed a similar problem with ssh sessions by adding some variables to the sshd_config on the servers in question, but I'd prefer to address on the load-balancers themselves.
Looking at the tcp profile, it would appear that I might be able to fix this by using a custom tcp profile with an increased idle timeout, or by doing something similar with a persistence profile, but neither has worked so far, according to the customer.
Has anyone else run into this or something similar? Am I even looking in the right place to address this issue?
Thanks,
Sid
