How to download the cert/key file from the /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/ location?

I created a certificate file inside F5 V.11 box and checked the bigip.conf entry.   Below is the cert & key entry:   sys file ssl-cert /Common/Test.crt {   cache-path /config/filestore/file...

I could get the file contents when I tried from the CLI. For eg:

 

1.) cd /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d

 

2.) vi \:Common\:ExpiryIn365v.crt_43566_1 (or) vi :Common:ExpiryIn365v.crt_43566_1

 

But I am trying to get the cert/key contents using the below icontrol method:

 

SystemConfigSync.download_file(filepath, size, offset); where filepath I used are

 

  • /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/:Common:ExpiryIn365v.crt_43566_1

     

  • /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/\:Common\:ExpiryIn365v.crt_43566_1

     

  • /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/Common/ExpiryIn365v.crt_43566_1

     

  • /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/ExpiryIn365v.crt_43566_1

     

In all the above combinations of filepath, I end up with the exceptions either

 

Common::InvalidArgument (or) Error opening file for read operations.
