Configuring ARR to Support SSL Offloading

To configure ARR to support SSL offloading:

1. On the ARR machine, open the IIS manager.

2. Open the ARR server farm and double-click Routing Rules.

   

3. Make sure the Enable SSL offloading check box is selected.

   

4. Repeat steps 1-3 with all the ARR machines.

Recommendations

• Use Centralized SSL Certificate to share the same customer certificate between all ARR machines. For more information, see IIS 8.0 Centralized SSL Certificate Support: SSL Scalability and Manageability.
• Use IIS Shared Configuration to share the IIS configuration between the servers. For more information, see Shared Configuration with IIS 7.
• Use URL rewrite to redirect users from http to https. For more information, see URL Rewrite.
