automating SSL certification

I was wondering if there is a way to automate F5 certification, currently we create CSR file and with ref, auth code as well as CSR we can upload certification, can this be automated?   Thx

There are many ways to streamline this. If you wanted to do it programmatically with a SOAP interface, the "KeyCertificate" iControl API has just about every call you would need. Link to KeyCertificate API

There's also an iControlREST API section (but I can't remember if it has similar functionality for certificates).

If you like scripting better, you can use the tmsh /sys crypto module. For a start try

    tmsh help /sys crypto cert

or

    tmsh help /sys crypto key

Is that enough to get you started?

Thx, If CA doesn't accept automation , I am not sure how this may work.
