  • Hi,

     

    Where you see encrypted traffic - between client and virtual server (VS)? Is so it's as it should be. Only traffic between BIG-IP and backend servers will be decrypted in such case - this is classical SSL Offload scenario:

     

    Traffic between client and VS is encrypted using clientssl profile BIG-IP decrypts traffic (so you can inspect it on BIG-IP) Decrypted traffic is send to backend servers (pool members) - so again you can monitor anything here because it's not encrypted.
