Hi Ajit, in addition to Daniel reply.

If you want to control certificates on server's side you need to go to:

  Local Traffic››Profiles:SSL:Server››profile_name:Server AuthenticationCustom:Server Ceritiface 
  put to "require".

Also you need to choose appropriate certificate of the issuer CA in section "Trusted Certificate Authorities ". If you put to check Server certificate to "ignore" be aware only of proper cipher suites between F5 and beckend servers.
