Setting back-end encryption

Setting back-end encryption

Back-end encryption is supported to allow end-to-end data traffic encryption. Not only is the traffic between the load balancer and the client encrypted, but so is the traffic between the load balancer and the back-end server.

To enable back-end encryption:

  • If you add a new HTTPS protocol, set the front end and back end to HTTPS.
  • For existing HTTPS protocols, set the back end to HTTPS.
