Ssl offloading is done on f5 because F5 is acting as full proxy. While uploading certificate key is required to authenticate the certificate.

    So, after we import certificate and its intermediate certificate, we still need to import one key for the "two" certificates, right? Thank you

    You import the ssl certificate in Big ip by going to File management-ssl certificate-add. It will ask for key once you import the certificate.After saving. Create ssl profile by going to security - ssl profile Create the profile, map the certificate and key . Keep the default chain .
