Which type of SSL offload configuration is shown in the output?
A. SSL termination
B. SSL initiation
C. end-to-end SSL
D. SSL testing
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
SSL initiation refers to configuring an ACE context for a back-end application in which the ACE operates as a client that communicates with an SSL server. When you create a Layer 7 policy map to define the flow between an ACE and an SSL server, the ACE operates as a client and initiates the SSL session between the ACE and the server. SSL initiation enables the ACE to receive clear text from a client and then to establish an SSL session with an SSL server and join the client connection with the SSL server connection. The ACE encrypts the clear text that it receives from the client and sends the data as ciphertext to an SSL server. The SSL server can either be an ACE configured for SSL termination (virtual SSL server) or a real SSL server (web server).
On the outbound flow from the SSL server, the ACE decrypts the ciphertext from the server and sends clear text back to the client.
