What is the path to a user's home directory from root?

Login to the F5, then:

run /util bash
printenv | grep HOME

This will give you the path to the home directory for the user you logged in with. By default /root is the HOME directory for all admin users.

I figured it out, all I had to do was change my upload path to the one that worked previously.

POWERSHELL CODE TO UPLOAD CERTIFICATE TO BIG-IP:

$workdir = "E:\PowerShell\SSL\IssuedCerts\PFXs"
$certficate = "www.hanktest24.com"
$Hostname = "bigIP"
$user = "USERNAME"
$pass = "PASSWORD"
$psftpdir = "E:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY"
$remotedir = "/shared/cert"
$tempContent = $()
$tempContentFile = "$($workdir)\temp_put.txt"
$tempContent += "cd cert "
$tempContent += "nput $workdir"+"\"+"$certficate "
$tempContent += "nexit "
$tempContent += "exit "
$out = Out-File -FilePath $tempContentFile -InputObject $tempContent -Encoding ASCII;
Set-Location -Path $psftpdir
$out =  & .\psftp.exe $($Hostname) -l $($user) -pw $($pass) -b $($tempContentFile))

POWERSHELL CODE TO IMPORT THE CERTIFICATE:

if ( (Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "iControlSnapIn"}) -eq $null ){
    Add-PSSnapIn iControlSnapIn
}
$bigip_name = 'bigIP'
$user = 'USERNAME'
$pass = 'PASSWORD'
$bigip = New-Object -TypeName iControl.Interfaces;
$success = $bigip.initialize($bigip_name, $user, $pass);
$bigip.ManagementPartition.Set_active_partition("Common");
$mgmtmode = New-Object -TypeName iControl.ManagementKeyCertificateManagementModeType
$mgmtmode.value__ = 0
$SSLDir = "E:\PowerShell\SSL\IssuedCerts\PFXs"
$url = "WWW.hanktest24.com"
$pfxfilename = $url + ".pfx"
$pfxfile = "/shared/cert/" + $pfxfilename
$exportPass = "EXPORTPASS"
Set-Location -Path $SSLDir
$bigip.ManagementPartition.Set_active_partition("Common")
$bigip.ManagementKeyCertificate.pkcs12_import_from_file(
($mgmtmode),
($url),
($pfxfile),
($exportPass),
($true)
)

Hope this helps others, because I've been trying to figure this out for months! Appreciate the help of Joe Pruitt!

Thanks,

Hi,

I have done exactly what you said here and I am still struggling with getting this done.

On the upload of the cert (your first script). I get this error. I am using the admin account on my test F5.

psftp.exe : Using username "admin".

I then decided to try and upload the cert manually using psftp outside of the powershell and I managed to create a folder called shared/cert and place my cert in there.

Then in the import of the cert I get this error.

error_string : error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory"

This is so frustrating because I feel like I am close. Please could you help me here.

Thank you, Lance
