About SSL Administration on the BIG-IP System

SSL administration on the BIG-IP system

The BIG-IP system offers a robust set of features for managing SSL traffic. With the BIG-IP system, you can:

• Manage digital certificates on BIG-IP systems for secure communication with other BIG-IP systems on the network.
• Manage digital certificates on the BIG-IP system for secure communication with client and server systems on the network.
• Manage SSL profiles to offload client authentication and encryption/decryption tasks from the target server. When offloading SSL tasks for a server, the BIG-IP system can optimize and manipulate the data in user-defined ways before sending the data on to the target server.
