Let's Encrypt on F5 Big IP - F5 validation

Dear All,

 

I can find some tutorials provided by the community, but I can't find any official documentation coming from F5.

 

Is Let's Encrypt validated by F5 for Big IP ?

 

Thank you. Nicolas

    Hello Nicolas,

     

    What should F5 validate? Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority. it's an independent process of F5, If you want to provide/host a service with cert generate by this CA in F5 you have to set chain and validation should be done by your Browser...

     

    Regards

    There doesn't appear to be an official supported method for F5 BIG-IP at the moment. in general running things on a schedule is not something the BIG-IP platform support natively easily. so you either work it out with the dev central provided info or built something yourself. and no, that won't be supported, they will help you up to some point.
