You are experiencing SSL handshake failures. There are error messages in /var/log/ltm similar to the following: tmm[16895]: 01260009:7: Connection error:9044: invalid pre-master secret (40)
SSL connection unable to establish; error generated. Note: This occurs only for clients that send SSLv2 or TLSv1 in the CLIENTHELLO.
-- Client SSL profiles configured. -- Client sends a CLIENTHELLO containing a SSLv2 or TLSv1 version in the handshake message.
None.
ClientHello SSLv2 issue is now fixed.
During the SSL Handshake, the BIG-IP system strictly checks the protocol version in the pre-master secret to verify it matches with the protocol version used in the Client Hello.
