  • 1.  Loadbalance HTTPS without certificate - SSL Bridge

    Posted May 24, 2022 04:18 PM

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to set up a load balancing service in HTTPS but I don't want to use the certificates and import them on NSX.
    I would like to configure it in SSL offloading so that the session is sent directly to the backend. It's possible?

    I use the load balancing module inside NSX i don't use ALB

     

    Regards

    Angelo

    Hi,

    When using SSL Offloading, the SSL handshake happens between the client & Load-balancer. So you have to install the certificate in the load-balancer. In your case, since you want the SSL handshake to happen between the client & the server, you should use SSL Pass-through.
