[Quoted] [Quoted] We're trying to put a BigIP switch in front of our 9ias (1.0.2.2.2) server. BigIP will handle the encryption and pass an http request to the app server.
Everything works fine when I bypass the BigIP server and only use http requests directly on the app server. I get an error when trying to access via BigIP.

Here's what we have:

1. Client connects to https://host.name.edu:9098 (address 129.74.xx.xx) which is BigIP.
2. BigIP sends request to http://host.name.edu:9098 (address 172.19.xx.xx) which is 9i App Server behind the firewall.
3. Client gets menu form with https://host.name.edu:9098/dev60cgi/f60cgi?config=INSTANCE link on it.
4. While opening https://host.name.edu:9098/forms60java/oracle/forms/engine/Main.class, we get the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.forms.engine.Main

with java.io.IOException: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSL handshake failed: X509CertChainInvalidErr appearing in the console window.

I looked up the X509CertChainInvalidErr on Metalink but the solution doesn't apply here. Like I said, if I access the 9ias server directly, all works as advertised. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm overlooking but if anyone has any ideas, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
