Terminating SSL on F5.
Hello guys,
I read that you can use the F5 to offload SSL certificate-verification tasks from client and server systems.
I have a few questions about this configuration;
1. How painful is this process in terms of the configuration changes I would have to apply to the current virtual servers?
2. Are there any real advantages on moving the security certificates from my web servers to the F5?
3. Would a client-side profile be enough or would it have to be client-side profile and Server-side profile?
4. Can I just import or install the same certificates I have on the web servers or does the F5 need to have its own certificate in addition the certificates of the web servers?
Thanks,
-Reinhard
