HTTPS communication and client and server ssl profile

Hi, I have a LTM which is listening on port 53443 from client to F5, Pool member also talking with F5 on port 53443. But I cant see any client or server ssl profile in Vertual Server. So do i actually need a client or server ssl profile for https communication? Its working now, but sometimes the user failed to connect to pool members.

    You don't need client/server ssl profile configured on the virtual server, however without the profiles you will not be able to manipulate the traffic etc as the LTM can't understand the encrypted traffic.
