certificate and key export from Big-IQ

Is it possible to export a certificate and key from Big-IQ? The only way I can tell is to deploy the cert/key in a profile a Big-IP and export it from there.

Hello, not sure if ssh(/scp) is possible.

If it is. The certificates and keys are stored in 

/config/filestore/files_d/[partition name]_d/certificate_d
and 
/config/filestore/files_d/[partition name]_d/certificate_key_d/
so you can copy them.

Best Regards,

Filip

    I guess the directory structure for Big-IQ is different because only the default certs/keys are stored in the directories you listed. Can't find the other ones.
