-- Exhibit --

Refer to the exhibit.

An LTM Specialist has created a virtual server to load balance traffic to a pool of HTTPS servers. The servers use client certificates for user authentication. The virtual server has clientssl, serverssl, and http profiles enabled. Clients are unable to connect to the application through the virtual server. Clients are able to connect to the application servers directly.

What is the root cause of the problem?

The application server does NOT support 2048-bit keys.

The clientssl profile is NOT set to require a client certificate.

The LTM device does NOT trust the issuing CA of the client certificate.

The application server does NOT see the client certificate due to SSL offload.
