certitcate error
- May 27, 2026
Hi Najm ,
Your issue is almost certainly missing intermediate certificate chain on F5 SSL profile
This error is very common when enabling a new certificate on F5 — and your curl output already tells the exact problem:
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
The client (curl) does NOT trust your server certificate because:
The certificate chain is incomplete, OR
The intermediate CA is missing, OR
The client cannot build a full trust chain to a root CA
Most Likely Cause (in F5 cases)
Intermediate certificate NOT attached in SSL profile
When you install only:
Server cert
Private key
But miss the intermediate chain
Clients fail with this exact error
Let me know for any further help in fixing the SSL chain.
thanks for update but let me know how resolve with steps it or share with article with steps to help me out ?

Hi Najm, check out Configure the BIG-IP system to use an SSL chain certificate. There is also a video demo/guide available here: Import a custom chain certificate to the BIG-IP system and configure an SSL profile to use it.
