How to read "Subject Key Identifier" value form a digital certificate

Hi,

 

I am looking for a way to:

 

1) read "Subject Key Identifier" value form a digital certificate with an iRule (something like X509::subject [SSL::cert 0])

 

2) insert this value into a HTTP header inside the same iRule.

 

While there are many examples available about inserting HTTP headers, I did not find a way how to read "Subject Key Identifier" from a certificate.

 

Help appreciated!

 

Best regards, Srecko

      The irule in this link should help you accomplish what you need to accomplish.

    With some help from F5, we were to solve this using APM and the following command in an iRule: "set SKI_Hex [findstr [ACCESS::session data get session.ssl.cert.x509extension] "Subject Key Identifier" 33 "X509v3"]"

     

    This reads the contents of the SKI extension field from a certificate into "SKI_Hex". You can then insert it into a HTTP header as described in other posts.
