certificate for serverssl
I'm grappling with what it means to have a certificate for a "serverssl" profile, between the F5 Big-IP LTM and the back-end server. (I have a paranoid application owner who wants to do this, and it's a low-traffic service so bandwidth and CPU are not an issue.)
What should the Common Name be for a serverssl certificate? Does it even matter? Outside of a browser-type environment, what checking is going to be done?
Thanks as always for your thoughts.
(Does the cert need to be accessed for Health Monitor checks? If so, then I need to apply it to three IP addresses: the hardware addresses of each of my High Availability units, and the floating address which actually handles user traffic. I think...)
