iControl Java help on certificate_import_from_pem

1. "names" should be an array and not a string - read the API documentation: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Management__KeyCertificate__certificate_import_from_pem.ashx

 

2. "modes" is not a string either :-) documentation in the wiki link above

 

3. learn Java before attempting to program in that language (or choose a programming language you know best - iControl works with many languages)

 

FYI, I end up with following java code to make it work:

 

 

import java.io.*;

 

import java.util.Scanner;

 

 

public class KeyCertificate {

 

 

public iControl.Interfaces m_interfaces = new iControl.Interfaces();

 

 

public void usage()

 

{

 

System.out.println("Usage: KeyCertificate hostname username password");

 

}

 

 

public void Run(String [] args) throws Exception

 

{

 

if ( args.length < 3 )

 

{

 

usage();

 

}

 

else

 

{

 

String host = args[0];

 

String user = args[1];

 

String pass = args[2];

 

 

boolean bInit = m_interfaces.initialize(host, user, pass);

 

if ( bInit )

 

{

 

addCertificates();

 

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

private String readFile(String pathname) throws IOException {

 

 

File file = new File(pathname);

 

StringBuilder fileContents = new StringBuilder((int)file.length());

 

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);

 

String lineSeparator = System.getProperty("line.separator");

 

 

try {

 

while(scanner.hasNextLine()) {

 

fileContents.append(scanner.nextLine() + lineSeparator);

 

}

 

return fileContents.toString();

 

} finally {

 

scanner.close();

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

private void addCertificates()

 

throws Exception

 

{

 

 

 

String[] certs = new String[1];

 

String[] keys = new String[1];

 

String[] key_ids = null;

 

key_ids = new String[]{"vli_self_server_key"};

 

String[] cert_ids = null;

 

cert_ids = new String[]{"vli_self_server_cert"};

 

iControl.ManagementKeyCertificateBindingStub certstub = m_interfaces.getManagementKeyCertificate();

 

iControl.ManagementKeyCertificateManagementModeType mode = iControl.ManagementKeyCertificateManagementModeType.MANAGEMENT_MODE_DEFAULT;

 

 

keys[0] = readFile("C:\\Users\\vli\\iControl-java\\vli_self_server.key");

 

certs[0] = readFile("C:\\Users\\vli\\iControl-java\\vli_self_server.crt");

 

 

try {

 

certstub.key_delete(mode, key_ids);

 

certstub.certificate_delete(mode, cert_ids);

 

}catch (Exception e) {

 

System.out.println("certificate and key not exist");

 

}

 

 

 

certstub.certificate_import_from_pem(mode, cert_ids, certs, true);

 

certstub.key_import_from_pem(mode, key_ids, keys, true);

 

certstub.certificate_bind(mode, cert_ids, key_ids);

 

System.out.println("certificate and key import succeeded!");

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

/**

public static void main(String[] args) {

 

try

 

{

 

KeyCertificate kc = new KeyCertificate();

 

kc.Run(args);

 

}

 

catch(Exception ex)

 

{

 

ex.printStackTrace(System.out);
