Ssl offloading
Can any one explain the ssl offloading elements of f5. So there is client side ssl profile and server side ssl profile. So the ssl client request will be terminated on f5 if client ssl profile is used .f5 decrypts session on behalf of webserver. I understood that but then what ssl server profile..??? Its told that it re encrypts session ..so itsnt doing any ssl offloading as such right?it is an extra layer of security???
Also if we are using the ssl profiles ..we creatr virtual server on port 443 .what port should the web service be running ??http ??
If ssl server profile is used, can we use the pool members to be on port 443??
