Hi!

 

Thank you for your quick response. I understand we can create a SSL Acceleration virtual where the client-side connection is un-encrypted and the server-side connection is encrypted (ServerSSL). The main part of my question is can we respond to a request for a client certificate on behalf of the un-encrypted client?

 

 

i.e. the server requests a client certificate, the un-encrypted client wouldn't have the certificate, so can we configure a BIG-IP to issue a client certificate on behalf of the un-encrypted client?

 

 

Thanks again.
