    It should be the same as any other application , make sure that you are using the same certificate on all your backend servers , export the certificate/key from the IIS , import it to F5 , create Client SSL profile , and assign this profile to a Virtual server listening on HTTPS with both Client and server SSL profiles.

    If by "Offload" you mean HTTPS on the client side and plain HTTP on the server side, use a client ssl profile and no server ssl profile.
