So, if I understand you correctly, you export the current bundle, add the new certificate into the existing bundle in a text editor and then perform a new certificate creation process in the F5 to bring the updated bundle back in, giving the new certificate bundle the same name as the current bundle and it will over write the existing bundle with the new bundle? So, if I understand this correctly, it is not possible to edit certificates in the F5, you just make changes and overwrite the existing certificate?

 

Thanks for your help. I appreciate your time!

"and then perform a new certificate creation process in the F5" - You do not create a new certificate, you import it. '''giving the new certificate bundle the same name as the current bundle and it will over write the existing bundle with the new bundle'' - No. You first find your existing bundle in GUI by navigating to System - File Management - SSL Certificate List. You open it, and then click import. Select '''Paste Text'' as import method. You paste the new contents, and Voila!
