SSL encryption and decryption of incoming traffic is CPU intensive and can put strain on server resources. SSL offloading moves processing to a dedicated device that handles all encryption and decryption. The load balancer adds additional X-Forwarded headers before passing the incoming request on to the target instance - for example, a Content Delivery server.
To configure SSL offloading:
-
Navigate to
App_Config\Include\Examples
folder. -
Remove the
.example
extension fromSitecore.LoadBalancing.config.example
. -
Change the settings in
Sitecore.LoadBalancing.config
according to your load balancer's settings. -
Repeat steps 1-3 on all instances behind the load balancer.
