Hi jason.

 

Let's say we have default SSL profile linked between F5 and server with server certificate is set to ignore. Can you assist me understanding below scenario

 

1) Who presents the cert for SSL handshake ? is it F5,Server or both ?

 

when we have default SSL profile b/w client and F5, F5 sends its certificate to get authenticated ? what is the cert that the F5 sends in case of default SSL profile ?
