Hi Jason,

 

Whe using the F5 as SSL forward proxy [internal user wanting to access HTTPS external content] what CA certificate we need to install on the F5? as when generating a signing request for a CSR to be signed by a CA, what would be the 'Common Name', as normally is a domain name or *.mydomain.com?
