Importing New Cert to F5

Hello Folks,

 

So I ended up on this forum in hopes that someone can shed some light on my queries. I am fairly new to F5 and am trying to understand how to import a new SSL certificate to be used in F5. So I was working on getting our servers a new SSL certificate from our CA which I already did. But didn't realize that I also need to change the certificate in F5. I have a .pfx cert file, can this be imported directly to F5 or does this needs to be converted on other format?. I hope someone can point me to the right direction.

 

Best,

    Yes you can, on the Web GUI go to:

    System ›› File Management ›› SSL Certificate List ›› Import

    For Import Type select PKCS 12 (IIS)

    Enter a Name, select the file and enter a password if required.

    Once done you will likely need to update the SSL Profile/Profiles associated with Virtual Server you require updating.

    Local Traffic  ››  Profiles ›› SSL ›› Client

    find you SSL Profile and click to edit, select the cert and key in the Certificate Key Chain field and click edit. Select you newly updated Certificate and Key and click OK then scroll down to click Update.
