Certificate and Private Key Pair

Is there any way I can check that a Certificate and Private Key match. I have tried to change the private key on a SSL client profile to test but no error message came back reporting mismatch.

Hi Andrew,

it's simple.

Create a new SSL Client profile (Local Traffic ›› Profiles : SSL : Client ›› New Client SSL Profile...).

Then set in "Certificate Key Chain" your key and certificate then click finished.

If your key and certificate mismatch, you will have the following error:

profile /Common/aaaa's key and certificate do not match

Keep me update if it's ok for you. Regards
