Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 86

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator manages an environment that has an externally accessible website. The administrator would like to provide end-to-end encryption, and use features such as caching and compression on the Citrix ADC.

Which setting should the administrator configure to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. SSL front-end, HTTP backend
• B. SSL_TCP front-end, SSL_TCP backend
• C. SSL front-end, SSL backend
• D. SSL_TCP front-end, TCP backend

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, ensures that both the front-end and back-end of the connection use SSL, providing the necessary end-to-end encryption. Options A and D do not provide SSL for the backend, which compromises encryption, while option B uses SSL_TCP but does not allow for caching and compression features that can be leveraged in an HTTP context.
