Abstract: A traffic management device (TMD), system, and processor-readable storage medium directed towards re-establishing an encrypted connection of an encrypted session, the encrypted connection having initially been established between a client device and a first server device, causing the encrypted connection to terminate at a second server device. As described, a traffic management device (TMD) is interposed between the client device and the first server device. In some embodiments, the TMD may request that the client device renegotiate the encrypted connection. The TMD may redirect the response to the renegotiation request towards a second server device, such that the renegotiated encrypted connection is established between the client device and the second server device. In this way, a single existing end-to-end encrypted connection can be used to serve content from more than one server device.

Abstract: A traffic management device (TMD), system, and processor-readable storage medium are directed to monitoring an encrypted session between a client and a server, determining that the session identifier is unknown, and requesting a renegotiation of the session to acquire a session identifier for the renegotiated session. Determination that the session identifier is unknown may be based on interception and analysis of handshake messages sent by the client and/or the server. Following such determination, a renegotiation of the encrypted session may be triggered by sending a renegotiation request to the client, and a session identifier for the renegotiated session may be determined based on information extracted from subsequent handshake messages exchanged between the client and server during the renegotiation. Determination of the session identifier may enable decryption, encryption and modification of subsequent communications traffic, for example insertion of third party content into traffic sent to the client.
