Ssldump

I have a Java app that uses iControl api to query the device via SOAP calls. I'd like to be able to get a capture of the packets in between my app and the bigip using ssldump. I need to provide a key to ssldump to decrypt the contents of the packets. What key should be used to decrypt the contents of the packets? I have already tried /config/ssl/ssl.key/default.key and /config/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key from the bigip but no success. I have a case open with you C295501 and have wasted couple of days on this already. Pls let me know what key is the right one.

    Mine uses the key that's applied via system -> platform. Click on the Web Server Certificate tab. Click on the key tab and there's an export button.

     

     

    Or...scp it from the box from:

     

    /config/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key

     

     

    If you need the certificate, it's in:

     

    /config/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt

  • There was an issue with ssldump on the version of bigip we run in the lab. Once I switched to a newer version I was able to decrypt contents of packets with server.key.
