Introduction

SSL Offloading feature allows loadbalancers to handle encryption/decryption of HTTP(s) traffic giving plaintext HTTP to the backend servers freeing them from the resource intensive task of handling encryption/decryption. Major loadblancers like the Netscaler and F5 have this functionality.

Goals

#Create/update/delete SSL certs
#The certificates will be linked to user account
#Certificates can be searched by using either the certificate ID or the account ID
#attach/remove SSL certs from a load balancer based on the load balancers capability
