Authentication & Encryption between BIG-IP VS and application server

Hello Alex,

You only need to add an SSL Client Profile and an SSL Server Profile. With the Client Profile the VS will be ready to handle encrypted tunnel between the Client and the VS. In the same manner, by adding an Server Profile, the F5 will starts a secure handshake to establish an encrypted tunnel btw the F5 and the Application Server.

By inheriting from the client-ssl / server-ssl parent profile, the config. is ready to use no need to add anything except the trusted key, cert and chain files to the system.

Hope it is clear.

Regards
