HTTP Redirection from Web Server breaks SSL Termination
I have VS on port 443 , it has SSL profile to do SSL termination & forward to pool ( on port 80 ) .
so communication between user & F5 is HTTPS , between F5 & Web Server is HTTP .
most URLs is working fine , but for some url i can see that when i click on it i get " page cannot be displayed " & that the browser used HTTP not HTTPS .
i checked web server code & found statements redirecting to HTTP for these URLs , like the below :
getURLHome: function() {
return "http://erod.siucex.com/web/signin";
So , form above it redirects users to HTTP , which breaks HTTPS Termination .
shall i ask webserver admin to cahnge that to "https" , but he should only understand HTTP not HTTPS ???
i was expecting that BIGPIP will change it automatically to HTTPS before forwarding to nuser
