SSL Load Balancing (Java applets problem)

[pankajp_cmc]

Hi,

I have implemented loadbalancing of two webservers using CSS 11503.

Servers are containing SSL pages which need to be loadbalanced.

I have tried configuring the content rule for ssl using

port 443

application ssl

advanced-balance ssl

commands.The site opens properly using the VIP address (checked the SSL certificate issued by one of the servers. ) and I am able to see all the TABS on the same.The real problem starts when I am trying to upload a file to the server using the VIP address.

The moment I try to upload a file the session shifts to the second server and prompts for new certificate issued by the second server.

One more thing which I would like to mention here is that while uploading the file, JAVA is used.

i.e.the files are being uploaded using JAVA applets.

If anybody has encountered this kind of problem kindly suggest on the same.

Would appreciate if you send the solution on pankajp_cmc@yahoo.com.

Any configs needed plz contact me on the above e-mail ID.

Thanks,

Pankaj P.

HI Pankaj,

depending on your Java applett it might be possible that the applett opens a new connection. therefore depending on your total configuration it might be possible taht another server is used.Even worse if you do SSL-offloading the applett might tell the user to do http instead of https. I suggest that you check with a sniffertrace what is happening:

1) is there a new connection setup while the applett runs

2) is it again http or https and if https is it a new https session which will be again balanced not depending on the original https session.

Hope that helps

regards,

Joerg
