The WebMux™ Model 480S, 580SG, and 680PG User Guide – Version 7.0.x

after the WebMux™ terminates the SSL traffic, only clear traffic will go to servers.

When the servers return traffic back, the WebMux™ will re-encrypt the data and

send encrypted back to client. If you are using out-of-path mode, please make

sure your servers’ gateway points to the WebMux™ server LAN gateway IP

address; so that the WebMux™ has the chance to re-encrypt the data before

replying back to clients.

One can also block not encrypted incoming traffic, so that only encrypted traffic

can reach to your server. This might be useful, when you only want encrypted

traffic reaching to your servers.

If you like to track on your server if the incoming traffic was HTTPS or HTTP, you

may turn on “tag SSL terminated HTTP traffic”. By change that to "Yes",

decrypted traffic will have the added MIME header "X-WebMux-SSL-termination:

true”. You can write script on your server to identify if the original traffic was

HTTPS or HTTP, and then properly redirect the traffic to the HTTPS.
