  • To activate SSL on the client side, You have to configure an Client SSL profile first : Local Traffic ›› Profiles : SSL : Client

     

    then you must add the created ssl profile within your Virtual Server.

  • You can follow this procedure http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/500/sol14534.html?sr=39703881one

     

    or directly generate a CSR on the web interface of your BIG-IP : System ›› File Management : SSL Certificate List

     

    You create a new SSL Certificate and make sure you select Certificate Authority in the issuer field.

     

    Then you can download the CSR and send it to your CA Manager that will sign it.

     

    Once you have the final certificate, you have to import it within your previously created certificate object on the BIG-IP.

     

    Final step, you should create a new ssl profile that refer to the private key and certificate of your newly created SSL certificate object.

    you can create csr from f5 or wherever you want. what you need are certificate and private key files.
