Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and network traffic management apparatuses that receive a request from a client device to access an application. The request comprises an original certificate. A determination is made when the certificate is valid. Data is extracted from one or more fields of the certificate, when the determining indicates that the user certificate is valid. A delegate certificate comprising the data and signed by a certificate authority trusted by a server device hosting the application is generated. The delegate certificate is sent to the server device. With this technology, network traffic management apparatuses can secure SSL connections using PFS-capable ciphers, while also inspecting payload data in network traffic exchanged between client and server devices in order to provide intelligent services in the network.
