Hello Brett,

 

When managing SSL traffic you have 3 options:

 

1) SSL Offloading => you need to assign a clientssl profile and no serverssl profile on the VS (Standard VS Type)

 

2) SSL Bridging => you need to assign both clientssl profile and serverssl profile on the VS (Standard VS Type)

 

3) SSL Passthrough => you don't need to use any SSL Profile on the VS. If it is an HTTP server you can use "Performance (HTTP)" VS type, or "Performance (Layer 4)".

 

Hope it helps

 

Please give me a feedback
