Configuring SSL offload for all HTTPS traffic

You can change the default outgoing protocol for requests that go through the on demand router. By default, the on demand router matches the incoming protocol to the outgoing protocol.

Before you begin

Create the on demand router. For more information, read about creating ODRs.

About this task

The on demand router has the following default behaviors:
  • For inbound Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests, the request is forwarded over outbound HTTP.
  • For inbound Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) requests, the request is forwarded over outbound HTTPS.
You can change this default behavior for all HTTP and HTTPS traffic that the on demand router handles, or on a per-web module basis.

Procedure

  1. Configure the on demand router (ODR) to perform Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) offload for all HTTPS traffic.
    In the administrative console, click Servers > Server types > On demand routers > on_demand_router > On demand router properties > On demand router settings > Custom properties > New.
  2. Specify a custom property named http.protocolMap and a value of SSL-offload.
  3. Click Apply.
