iControl and Powershell - key import and certificate import

I am attempting to script out importing a SSL crt/key pair into a new F5 running 11.3. I'm using iControl within Powershell. I've successfully used iControl and Powershell for other tasks on this new F5. Below is my sample code which doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas/suggestions?

 

$SSLDir = Path to folder containing crt and key files on my machine $url = "www.myurl.com"

 

$crtfilename = $url + ".crt" $keyfilename = $url + ".key" $keyfile = $SSLDir + "\" + $keyfilename $crtfile = $SSLDir + "\" + $crtfilename

 

(Get-F5.iControl).ManagementPartition.Set_active_partition("Common") (Get-F5.iControl).ManagementKeyCertificate.key_import_from_file(0,$url,$keyfile,$false) (Get-F5.iControl).ManagementKeyCertificate.certificate_import_from_file(0,$url,$crtfile,$false)

    Try this one?

    if ( (Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "iControlSnapIn"}) -eq $null ){
    Add-PSSnapIn iControlSnapIn
}

Setup Credentials
$user = 'myuser'
$pass = 'mypass'

$SSLDir = ""

$url = "mysite.com"

$success = Initialize-F5.iControl -HostName 10.10.10.10 -Username $user -Password $pass;
$f5 = Get-F5.iControl

$crtfilename = $url + ".crt"
$keyfilename = $url + ".key" 
$keyfile = $SSLDir + "\" + $keyfilename 
$crtfile = $SSLDir + "\" + $crtfilename

$F5.ManagementPartition.Set_active_partition("Common")

$F5.ManagementKeyCertificate.key_import_from_file(
                "MANAGEMENT_MODE_DEFAULT",
                (,$url),
                (,$keyfile),
                $false
                )

$F5.ManagementKeyCertificate.certificate_import_from_file(
                "MANAGEMENT_MODE_DEFAULT",
                (,$url),
                (,$certfile),
                $false
                )
