Haha, I bet the server admins forgot to enable the 'Magical SSL Fairy' option in the LTM config. That's the only way to fix this kind of problem!

Option C looks good too. If the clientssl profile isn't configured to require a client cert, the clients won't be able to authenticate through the virtual server.

Installing the client's issuing Certificate Authority certificate is a good idea too.

I'm not sure about that. I think the answer might be D) Install the client's issuing Certificate Authority certificate on the LTM device.

I think the answer is D. If the clients are using client certificates, the LTM device needs to have the issuing CA certificate installed to verify those client certs.
