NimbostratusCertificate
Good Day All my organisation has procured 2 F5's to carry out a number of tasks. One of the tasks is to provide endpoint management when machines are trying to access our network. One of the end points to be determined is the trusted client from Becrypt. In order to use these it have been asked that a cert is placed on the trusted client and when it trys to connect to the internal lan it is checked for a certificate. I want to set up a simple test to prove that the certificate (self signed at this stage) on the trusted client can be checked prior to it being allowed to access services. What I need is advice on how to set up a scenario using my lap top the trusted client and the F5 VA I have deployed. I want to set up a temp url and use this as the url that will be configured in the trusted client. I need to set up a web page on the F5 and then a certificate authentication LAB.
Can any please help?

Not an expert on Becrypt, but is the certificate maintained by the user or the machine? If the user, this should be a relatively simple LTM function. If maintained by the workstation, you'll need the Access Policy Manager (APM) module to query and evaluate the certificate.
vmwaretrain_137Thanks Kevin, It is maintained by the work station. Can you provide brief instruction on how I may test this?

Start here:

This functionality requires the APM module licensed on the BIG-IP and the Edge client installed on the workstations.
