NimbostratusSOAP request for SSL Authentication
Hi
We have an application that uses an iFrame to pull data from a secure source. The secure source is another web application that sits behind a Big-IP. We have a trusted certificate from a CA installed on the F5 and the remote server.
The remote server makes a call to the secure application via the Big-IP on SSL using the CA certificate. It also makes a SOAP request to validate against a self signed certificate, also on the Big-IP.
We have the path to the cert store on the Big-IP, but he request is also looking for a password to the cert-store. I am unable to determine how to set up a password for the cert store on the Big-IP.
Any help please....
Joe

Hi Joe,
You should only have passphrases (or passwords) on private keys. I don't think you can have a passphrase on a cert. And you shouldn't need a private key for an intermediate, chain or root cert.
Can you clarify what you've configured in terms of client and/or server SSL profiles on LTM, what testing you're trying and the results from the client/LTM/server perspective?
Thanks,
Aaron
Joe_White_45290Thanks Aaron
The developers have now changed their minds. They connect in to a client profile which has been configured with a CA certificate. To reverse authenticate, they then make a SOAP call from a Base64 file to a PFX file which has a passphrase (they failed to mention the PFX before). This was starting to work and, for other reasons, the project has now been cancelled.
On to the next one.
