SharePoint Error in people picker in Infopath filler for SSL termination at F5 rather than at the web application/IIS level

The error occurs in the InfoPath filler people picker:  calls fails /_vti_bin/spclaimproviderwebservice.https.svc


when the SSL termination is done at the F5. 


To resolve, you'll need to create a iRule in F5 or in IIS to strip of the .https for the following two services:


spclaimproviderwebservice.https.svc
and
cellstorage.https.svc

IIS:

<rule name="SpClaimProviderWebService" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)spclaimproviderwebservice.https.svc$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}spclaimproviderwebservice.svc" />
</rule>


<rule name="cellStorage" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)cellstorage.https.svc$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}cellstorage.https.svc" />
</rule>


F5:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [[string tolower] [HTTP::path]] contains "spclaimproviderwebservice.https.svc"} {
HTTP::path [string map {.https ""} [HTTP::path]]
}
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [[string tolower] [HTTP::path]] contains "cellstorage.https.svc"} {
HTTP::path [string map {.https ""} [HTTP::path]]
}
}
