    thanks for your feedback PK, but i found the issue:

    • first of all, I pulled the whole profile, changed the settings and pushed it again. This does not work. You have to push only the values you want change, in this case "cert", "key", and "chain".
    • second: i tried to change the mentioned values in "certKeyChain", however there are other key/value pairs within the hash I needed to change. It is a bit confusing, since they have the same name, and from my point of view, it makes more sense that the ones in the certKeyChain are the correct ones, but this is not the case.

    so all i had to push is:

    {"cert"=>"/Common/new_test.crt",
 "key"=>"//Common/new_test.key",
 "chain"=>"/Common/new_test.crt"}

    Thanks for the solution. However this is not working for me if i just send the payload you mentioned. I get an error "one or more configuration identifiers must be provided". Not sure what's missing. Any idea ?

    Also, in your request, where do you specify which SSL profile you need to update since it's neither mentioned in the payload not in your url ?
