CirrusWhat is relation between "SSLCertificate" and Key
CirrostratusThe key is the private cryptographic information used for encrypting traffic.
The certificate is the public cryptographic information used for encrypting traffic.

If you want to terminate SSL on your F5, you need both the key and certificate installed and configured in an SSL profile. Depending on your use case you may need an intermediate certificate configured in your SSL profile as well, which the Certificate Authority can provide.
Hope this answers your question!
CirrusThank you so much for your reply.
"If you want to terminate SSL on your F5"
What does this mean for "terminate"? Here is my understand for it: Usually user PC contact server directly. If we put a F5 between the server and user PC, all ssl process would be moved from the server to the F5. That means terminate SSL on my F5, right?
