Creating a Self-Signed SSL Certificate

Question

Hello,&nbsp;&nbsp;I am looking to create a self-signed SSL certificate through the iControl API's.  I found this, http://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/asg/51/aft/1174144/showtab/groupforums/Default.aspx, but that is for certificates that have already been generated in the .pem format.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any suggestions?&nbsp;

I'm not sure iControl supports creation of certs/keys.  You could probably do this just as easily using openssl or some other library off of LTM and then importing the cert/key to LTM using iControl:

&nbsp;  iControl  :: Management ::  KeyCertificate :: key_import_from_pem
