Load Balanced HTTPS to Custome Port, rewrite header

Hello,

 

I have an HTTPS website load balanced to two non HTTP web applications servers on a custom port

 

loading and

 

At the moment I have enabled Parent Profile Cookie as it is required for the application server processing (sticky sessions are required)

 

The HTTPS url is failing to load due to error

 

The page at '' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet ''. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

 

I am struggling to figure out how to serve the DNS-URL the reponse from Servername and return it back re-written properly. iRules may be? Could someone advise please?

 

Many thanks, Ramu

    This would have to be server side configuration fix that should enable the server to respond with https links when traffic reaches server on port 8080, assuming you aren't using that port for http.

     

    If possible, retain the DNS-URL at the server level. No reason to use separate domains for each pool member. It doesn't scale well.

    Enable SSL certificate at server with strong cipher key.

    So that Server will also served with 

    https://server:8080

      Thanks for the responses.

       

      SSL is offloaded at the loadbalancer, if the application server were to load the SSL certificates, I could pass through traffic as is and use DNS alias at the application servers. That is unfortunately not an option in the current setup. From the comments by Vijay, I think its how our applications are responding as well. My question here was to get some direction as I couldn't understand whether it was loadbalancer or the application.
