Mr Rahm,

A little bit confused.

Then, is there any difference using bigip.tm.sys.crypto.keys.exec_cmd() and b.tm.sys.file.ssl_certs.ssl_key.create()? It seems both install a SSL key from the local key file (/var/config/rest/downloads/)

Also, what if I need to specify a passphrase (password) for pkcs12? Simply add another parameter like the following? 
 b.tm.sys.file.ssl_keys.ssl_key.create(name=name, sourcePath=sourcepath, passphrase='key_passphrase')

Thank you.
