Symptoms

When client SSL profile has "cache-size 0" the SSL functionality fails to include master-secret in the F5 Ethernet Trailers (f5ethtrailer), thus not being able to decrypt client-side traffic.

Conditions

Client SSL profile has "cache-size 0".

Workaround

Use client SSL profile default cache size.
