VirtualServer with TLSProfileΒΆ

VirtualServer with TLSProfile is used to specify the TLS termination. TLS termination relies on SNI. Any non-SNI traffic received on port 443 may result in connection issues. The example below shows how to attach a TLSProfile to a VirtualServer.

  • CIS has a 1:1 mapping for a domain (CommonName) and BIG-IP-VirtualServer.
  • You can create any number of custom resources for a single domain. For example, you can create 2 VirtualServers with different terminations (for the same domain): one with edge and another with re-encrypt. To do this you need to create two VirtualServers: one with edge TLSProfile and another with re-encrypt TLSProfile. Both the VirutalServers should be created with same virtualServerAddress.
  • Single or Group of VirtualServers (with the same virtualServerAddress) will be created as one common BIG-IP-VirtualServer.
  • If you want to update secure virtual (TLS Virtual) server to insecure virtual (non-TLS server) server. You need to delete the secure virtual server first and create a new virtual server.
