How to use same cert for 2 F5 environment

Hi guys, F5 beginner here. So I have a site which is setup on our server with HTTP, I want to setup HTTPS on F5 level. Which SSL method should I create for this? Is it the "Creating an SSL CSR and private key" ??

 

Also, most important question is how can I use the same cert for 2 F5 environment. I have F5 QA & F5 PROD, how can I use the same cert for both QA & PROD? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

    Find the below answer, If i understand properly.

     

    Which SSL method should I create for this?

     

    --> There are two types of SSL profile, Client SSL profile & Server SSL profile. Mostly we configure client-side SSL profile on VIP to secure connection between client machine to F5 BIGIP VIP.

     

    Is it the "Creating an SSL CSR and private key" ?

     

    --> Yes. Share CSR to third party(Verisign,GoDaddy, etc) to get certificate or generate self sign certificate.

     

    I have F5 QA & F5 PROD, how can I use the same cert for both QA & PROD?

     

    --> Archive Key & cert from One device and import to other device.

     

    Paste if you have any other question..
