The Client SSL profile is responsible for managing encryption between the client and the BIG-IP, while the Server SSL profile is responsible for managing encryption between the BIG-IP and the resource server.

 

If you are using a Client SSL profile but not using a Server SSL profile, your traffic is encrypted between the client and the BIG-IP but not between the BIG-IP and your resource servers.

 

If traffic between the BIG-IP and the application servers isn't encrypted, your application servers don't need a certificate installed.
