Feb 22, 2006How to extract both public and private key from Java keystore into Big-IP?
We have a keypaire generated by Sun Java keytool utility
Now we need to extract it and put in Big-IP..
I try to use keytool -export -rfc to extract the key
But it can not accepted by Big-IP to load as privary key
It can be loaded as public key..
How could I extract both public/private key from keystore and load it to F5?
Any help will be appreciate!

Here's a link to a site that has the OpenSSL to Keytool (and vice-versa) procedures that you may find quite helpful:

I would strongly suggest that you perform the openssl conversion parts on a separate unix (or linux) machine with openssl installed, then move the public and private keys to the F5.

As Tony suggested, you should be able to use keytool to export the cert and key from the java store. LTM requires PEM formatted certs and keys. Here are a few related links:
