SSL Certificate import

Trying to understand which import type to use to import a cert on F5? Under what criteria do we use a specific import type?

cer - certificate stored in the X.509 standard format. This certificate contains information about the certificate's owner... along with public and private keys.

 

when you import root certificate the file method is RSA Certificate & Key or simply RSA certificate(in case of no key)

 

pfx - stands for personal exchange format. It is used to exchange public and private objects in a single file. A pfx file can be created from .cer file. Can also be used to create a Software Publisher Certificate.

 

what exactly do you what to know? certificate installation in f-5 OR how cert works ?
