using proxy ssl leverages you :
- The BIG-IP system to process encrypted application traffic.
- The server to retain final authority to directly authenticate and grant access to the client.
- To use the following BIG-IP system functions:
- The iRules read or write application data.

- The system passes client certificates to servers that require mutual authentication.
I hope this helps you š
