Network Solutions EV SSL Certs and BigIP???

I admit I am not very knowledgeable on SSL certificates and such, but we have one client that is having issues.

 

 

All of our other clients that have SSL certificates on our BigIP are using VeriSign. This new client wanted Network Solutions EV certificates.

 

 

According to everything I'm reading, I need to install an intermediate certificate. I went to NS's website and downloaded the certificate, but when I try to import it, BigIP says the cert/key don't match. The file is binary, so I can't append it to my existing intermediate-ca.crt file as I have read elsewhere for "chained" certificates.

 

 

Basically, I am completely lost on how to fix this. Are Network Solutions Intermediate certs not supported? Is there something else wrong?

 

 

Thanks for any assistance at all.

    Hi look at the manual. Try to import it in the PEM format. With openssl you can convert a certificate from DER to PEM format. Then you should be able to add it into the intermediate cert file.

     

    Openssl is on the bigip. use something like openssl -inform DER -in -outform PEM -out
