My suggestion would be to investigate doing this with iControl (http://devcentral.f5.com/Community/TopicGroups/tabid/1082223/asg/51/showtab/groupforums/Default.aspx).

 

 

You could do this via CLI to place the Certificate and Key files in the proper directories, but in order to use them you would still need to place them in SSL Profiles and apply them to a Virtual Server which would require direct interface with the main bigip.conf configuration file.
