Wildcard Certificates

Have an LTM running BIG-IP 9.3.1 Build 81.1 and am trying to import a wildcard certificate (*.domain.com). I generated the CER on the LTM. This process created the private key. Now, when I try to import the certificate I received from VeriSign, I get a certificate/key mismatch error. Are wildcard certs supported on the LTM?

 

  • Yes. Wildcard SSL Certificates are supported from v9.0.x to v10.1.x.

     

     

    This is a solution that specifically includes v9.3.1 as capable of utilizing Wildcards (This Solution only covers the CSR Generation):

    You might want to verify that your Certificate Store doesn't contain multiple Keys from previous attempts to generate a CSR to submit to your CA.

    Also, you can use Openssl to verify a cert and key match:
