2 way ssl not working with open ssl generated certificates

  • The problem is Connection error: ssl_shim_vfycerterr:4530: certificate is not yet valid

    If you are seeing this then its likely the time on you BIG-IP needs to synchronised.

    Set a DNS server

    System -> Configuration -> Device -> DNS add 8.8.8.8

    Set an NTP Server

    System -> Configuration -> Device -> NTP add pool.ntp.org

    If the time does not update within a minute check you can reach your DNS server. From the command line

    ping 8.8.8.8
    

    If the system has never been synced before then run the following...

    service ntpd stop
    ntpdate pool.ntp.org
    service ntpd start
    

    This will force time to sync no matter the time difference.

      Thanks Kevin for the update. This is our lab device so we dont have a DNS as such, when you say time sync does that mean the Certificate Authority issued issued certificates and the LTM device clock should be in sync or the end machine which is accessing the URL should be in sync

      They all need to be in sync. Real time or your own time, all of then need to have the same time. When they are too far out SSL will not work.
