Hi,I have a problem using AS3 to add multiple SSL client profiles to a virtual server. I don't wan't to use the bigip reference from /Common but instead just create and add multiple ssl client profiles to the VIP. Can you help me with the syntax or tell if it is even possible. Examples:1. This one works (these exist in advance)"serverTLS": [{"bigip": "/Common/ssl_client_profile1"},{"bigip": "/Common/ssl_client_profile2"}], 2. This one does not work (these do not exist before and would be created)"serverTLS": [{"ssl_client_profile1"},{ "ssl_client_profile2"}}], BR Teemu

A default ssl profile is mandatory to accomdate the case when the server name does not match or when the client does not support SNI. This is by design

AS3 - Create multiple client ssl profiles to a single virtual server.

Hi,

You must add the declaration for a TLS_Server class, which includes your two certificates. and only call this class from your service. This will indeed create two profiles.

The following example is from this link: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/declarations/tls-encryption.html#using-multiple-ssl-tls-certificates-in-a-single-profile

This declaration creates the following objects on the BIG-IP:

A partition (tenant) named Sample_cert_02.
Two certificates named webcert1 and webcert2,
A client SSL profile for each certificate named webtls and webtls-1-,

Nice! I thought that you will need to use REST-API imperative calls to "/mgmt/tm/sys/file/ssl-cert" "https://{{big-ip}}/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl" to first import the SSL cert via API and then create the SSL profiles (or Ansible could have been easier to interact to the API the old not AS3 way as to create playbook with 3 tasks of importing the ssl/creating the profiles and using the AS3 with Ansible https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/f5networks/f5_modules/index.html / https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/ansible/devel/f5_bigip/playbook_tutorial.html ) but your solution is much better!

Even in the docs your way is not given as under "Referencing multiple SSL profiles on a single virtual service" it is written "The SSL profiles must exist on the BIG-IP device."

Hello and thanks!

What if i also need to add matchtosni value (server name)?

  Yes you can. Example here: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/declarations/tls-encryption.html#using-matchtosni-with-a-tls-server-profile
  
  ... "webtls": { "class": "TLS_Server", "certificates": [{ "matchToSNI": "wwww.domain.com", "certificate": "webcert1" }, { "certificate": "webcert2" }] }, ...

Side question.. When I push my declaration to the BIG-IP does it affect unchanged Virtual servers? Simply.. does it have impact on production traffic?

  Yes, if you POST your declaration for tenant A, everything under this tenant will be replaced by new configuration. If you need to add additional VS, you need to use PATCH method:

    Hello,
    
    i meant that if i declare identical configuration will the resubmit leave the unchanged virtual servers untouched?
