Hi all,

 

beyond the article, do you have a step by step tutorial for implementing this within F5 BIG IP?

 

How the flow works? F5 is passing the challenge to one specific web server to do the challenge/response or F5 itself is the one that carry this out?

 

Does this script distribute the new certificate (request or renew) to all the web servers in my farm?

 

It has any support to automatically configure IIS/Apache or other webservers or it only gets the certificate and is up to the administrator to configure the certificate on each web server?

 

Has this script any limitations in terms of webserver´s platforms or is independent?

 

Thanks in advance!
