Symptoms

big3d uses SSL ticket extension, which caused problems with servers running old versions of OpenSSL. This causes the customer's webserver, that doesn't support this option, to fail with (alert 21, decryption failure).

Impact

GTM Object is incorrectly marked down.

Conditions

GTM HTTPs monitor connecting to a webserver that doesn't support RFC 4507/RFC 5077

Workaround

To work around this issue, you can write an external script that you can import to the BIG-IP GTM system, and then configure the system to use that script instead of the GTM HTTPS health monitor: For detailed information about how to work around this issue, see SOL15053: The BIG-IP GTM system may incorrectly mark a resource down when using the GTM HTTPS health monitor, available at http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/000/sol15053.html.

Fix Information

None
