ASM and SSL Termination

Hi all,

 

I have a question regarding ASM and SSL termination on F5. I have an ASM policies that attach to VS that use SSL profile. If i didn't use the SSL profile anymore on my VS, which mean that I didn't do any SSL termination on F5 anymore, did my ASM could still do inspection to any HTTPS traffic of my application? I can't find from ASM documentation that to inspect HTTPS traffic whether we should do SSL termination on F5 or not.

 

Thanks before,

 

Shaggy

    no. asm needs to see unencrypted traffic.
