    F5 certificate CN and Client certificate CN should match?

     

    no, cn should not be the same because they authenticate different things (one authenticates server but the other one authenticates client).

     

    I uploaded CA bundle through GUI but that is not shown in /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d

     

    i understand it is correct. trust_certificate_d is for device trust.

Yes it has to be, but after that FIN msg what does it show? 1. If F5 have trust certificate authority certificates as bundle then will trust any certificate issued by that authority? Why its not working? I have a deadline of today. Please help. Any certificate issued by that authority should work in pfx format which includes cert and private key. If the pfx cert is in the personal tab then it should be automatically selected. right
