Initial question
Two days ago we were facing below error along with strange devices behaviour i.e some devices were able to connect/work via load balancer and some were not. But yesterday all devices were able to connect. Though there was no change done in the network or in the server. Network team was here they also confirmed that they did nothing.
Update
Does IBM MobileFirst 6.3 supports Cisco ACE hardware load balancer ?
One of my client has setup it for two separate machines (physical) and we are having following issue while accessing the Server console via load balancer.
But, if we access the MobileFirst Console directly via the IP address of either of the machines then it works fine and shows everything.
If this support is available then please guide me on it.
Environment Details
- IBM WAS Liberty Profile 8.5.5.0 (Base version)
- MobileFirst 6.3 (Build number: IMF 00-20141127-1357)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 (v 6.3)

This configuration is the minimum one that you need to create an SSL configuration.
With this configuration, the Liberty server creates the keystore and the certificate,

The created certificate is a self-signed certificate that is valid for 365 days.
Do not use the certificates that the Liberty server created for production use.

Are you running on WAS ND ?
You may need to set the following JNDI properties
And point the values of it to your load balancer path
Also, you need to make sure that the servers running MFP have network access to the load balancer (ports open etc.)
