Configuring the Device
When you configure an appliance to perform SSL offloading you are actually
setting up one or more logical secure servers whose SSL-related configurations
reside in the appliance. Each logical secure server has several attributes:
•
A unique IP address for the real server providing content
•
Specifications for the appropriate key and certificate to use
•
A security policy specifying the cryptographic scheme(s) to use
