HTTPS to Tomcat 8003....
I think I have a very similar issue to the two following articles, however we have tried the respective "fixes" and had no joy :
https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/https-to-tomcat8080
https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/apache-tomcat-configuration-ltm
So basically, my situation is this :
CLIENT --> HTTPS --> F5 --> HTTP:8003 --> Tomcat Server
I have created a VIP which handles the SSL-termination. Then I have a server pool with a tomcat server listening on port 8003. When I connect directly to the tomcat server on port 8003 inside my network ( ), I get the expected tomcat page. However, when I connect through my F5 load-balancer to ( , which points to a pool with that contains the tomcat server listening on 8003 ), then I get "This site can’t be reached. "vip_server_name" refused to connect. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
I need to know what I needs to do to either my F5 load-balancer or my tomcat server to make the connections work? I "think" it is choking on the HTTPS and HTTP back and forth communications, but I am a lightweight in Linux and Tomcat and I am also fairly new to F5. Any help is greatly appreciated.
