hello Team, thank you for the response, I just added a script on to check all the profiles and see if that if the profile has certs on it.. it does take time though I wasnt able to get any solution aside from this.

    Hi cathy_123 here’s how I have handled that for comparison (from https://github.com/f5-rahm/pcap_utils/blob/main/capndecrypt.py#L175-L185) 

    Note that this is using bigrest library, you can extract out the endpoints and logic for your own purposes.

    def get_cssl_profile(bigip, vip_name):
    vip_profiles = bigip.load(f'/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/{vip_name}/profiles')
    cssl_profile = ''
    for profile in vip_profiles:
        if bigip.exist(f'/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl/{profile.properties.get("name")}'):
            cssl_profile = profile.properties.get('name')
    if cssl_profile != '':
        print(f'\tVirtual {vip_name} has associated client-ssl profile {cssl_profile}...continuing.')
        return cssl_profile
    else:
        sys.exit(f'\tVirtual {vip_name} has no associated client-ssl profile...exiting.')
