Thanks Nathan. I have one more question related to this. If the SSL certificates in use today signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) using the SHA-1 algorithm then using of SHA2 intermediate certificate will work for the successful SSL handshake between client and the server?

 

Or

 

Do we need a new SSL certificate with SHA 2 algorithm and an intermediate chain certificate in LTM to make the successful SSL handshake between client and the server?

 

Regards, Thiyagu

It depends on the client's browser. For example Google Chrome requires the whole chain except the CA to have SHA2 Certificates - so it'll reject yours. Internet Explorer OTOH will probably accept it.
