portal uri connection reset while webpage loading
Big Ip 11.4.1 full webtop with portals published to webtop. All internal websites are behind a proxy server so in the advanced settings of the portal I entered the proxy server IP address and port. I configured DNS because initially I was seeing an ACL / DNS error page in the browser when I attempted to access the rewrite portal resources from the webtop. I am know seeing connection reset while webpage downloading in the client browser. TCP dumps on the interface on the f5 facing the internal web proxy show that the http requests never go out to the proxy server. In the client browser address bar I see the f5 address with a random string and then the portal uri without the hostname. Has anyone seen this before? I am sure I am missing something in my configuration just not sure what. I don't see anything in the ltm apm or tmm logs to indicate what the problem is.
portal acccess and re-writing HTTPS requests through a proxy
I'm running into the exact issue described in F5 release notes starting with 11.2.1 - https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/releasenotes/product/relnote-apm-11-2-1.html see article 340549 "The rewrite plugin does not implement forwarding HTTPS requests through the HTTPS proxy correctly. However, forwarding HTTP requests through the HTTP proxy does work correctly. To work around this problem, create a layered virtual server to catch HTTPS traffic leaving APM and forward it to a HTTPS proxy server using CONNECT. Proxy authentication is not implemented, and if response status from HTTPS proxy server is not 200, then use an iRule to close the connection." I'm just not sure about what is meant/how to implement. Could anyone possibly shed some light? Thanks!
