Ace ssl-proxy problem, Online store.

Hello!

I have a problem with moving our online store loadbalancing to a Cisco ACE solution from Windows NLB that it runs on now. And also relive the servers from the ssl encrypt and decrypting of sessions.

The load balancing works', as long the session is Http, but when the "customer" comes to the point that i is going to pay. Our shop is jumping over to HTTPs and this is where the problem appear.

The "customer" is getting the certificate right but the site is not displayed = the session to the shop seems to die.

If i have missed something in the config or if someone have any other idea why this dont work for me..

Appreciate any help!

My config:

(at the moment only web5 is in use)

ACE-1/CO-WEB1# show run

access-list ANY line 10 extended permit ip any any

access-list icmp line 8 extended permit icmp any any

probe http PROBE-HTTP

Hello Krille

i had the same problem.

The HTT Probe you define will do a check if

the return code is

expect status 200 200

expect status 300 323

Now if a user is accessing the hppts site, in the flow there will be an expect status like 404, the ACE now is not establish an sticky connection, cause it think that the flow is not ok.

The only output after ther Certificates is a blank site.

If you change the Probing to ICMP you will be able to access the https site and the connection is sticky. With a litte tool like IE Watch you will be able to see the wrong Status codes.

regards
