How to install a cert and a key through Python SDK
I am trying to install a cert and a key through Python SDK. BIG-IP Version: 12.1.2 First.. I had no problem with uploading certs and keys to F5's /var/config/rest/downloads/ folder. Now when I tried the following python code to install cert and key, I didn't see any error. key = bitip.tm.sys.file.ssl_keys.ssl_key.create(name='test', partition='Common', sourcePath='file:/var/config/rest/downloads/test.key') cert = bitip.tm.sys.file.ssl_certs.ssl_cert.create(name='test', partition='Common', sourcePath='file:/var/config/rest/downloads/test.crt') However when I logged on BIG-IP device and clicked a cert or key to see their actual content, I couldn't see any content. "No certificate" under certificate tab and an error message of "An error has occurred while trying to process your request." under Key tab. Does any one know what is causing this problem? Or is there any way I can troubleshoot this issue? Thank you.
