SSL::disable
Disables SSL processing.
SYNOPSIS
SSL::disable (clientside | serverside)?
DESCRIPTION
Disables SSL processing. This command is useful when using a virtual server that services both SSL and non-SSL traffic, or
when you want to selectively re-encrypt traffic to pool members.
Note: Disabling SSL on the serverside only applies before serverside connection has been established (SERVER_CONNECTED) or
when the clientside of the connection is in a detached state (e.g., oneconnect, LB::detach).
RETURN VALUE
SSL::disable [clientside | serverside]
Disables SSL processing on one side of the LTM. Sends an SSL alert to the peer requesting termination of SSL
processing.
By default, the side that is disabled is the currently running context (so, running SSL::disable in a client-side event
will disable client-side SSL). This can be changed via the "clientside" or "serverside" parameter.
VALID DURING
ANY_EVENT
EXAMPLES
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [TCP::local_port] == 80 } {
SSL::disable
pool myPool
} elseif { [TCP::local_port] == 443 } {
pool myPool
} else {
discard
}

set usessl 1
} else {
pool static_pool
set usessl 0
}
}
when SERVER_CONNECTED {
if { $usessl == 0 } {
SSL::disable
}
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/old"}{
SSL::disable serverside
