why we need SSL Bridging ?
Hi F5 Experts ,
Why we need SSL Bridging ? Why we need to terminate SSL on Both Virtual Server and Backend Server ? What is the need of having 2 time ssl termination here - One in f5 and one in Web server?
The main concept of SSL offloading is to relieve a web server of the processing burden of decrypting and/or encrypting traffic sent via SSL , But using SSL Bridging we will again have processing burden of decrypting and/or encrypting traffic on web server .Instead we can have SSL-Pass through only !
Please let me know the reason behind using SSL Bridging .
