I think they mean server ssl certs and client ssl certs

Here I assume that after the inital connection has to be fully SSL encrypted
till the password is send to just protect the password. After that, but
before any other command send a ccc. This will change the mode to clear and
therefore the FW can inspect the port/pasv command.
