How to install private keys stored on Gemalto Safenet HSM

Hello All,

 

Curious to know if I generate a Private Key and Certificate on HSM can these be installed on a F5 LTM.

 

All the documentation I am able to get is to create a private key certificate on F5 using nethsm as security.

 

Is there a way to re-use a HSM stored private key on multiple F5 devices?

  • Yes. You can use same SSL key if same HSM servers are used for other F5 devices too. If F5 devices are not using same HSM servers then you can not use SSL key.

      Is there any document on how to use the same key.

       

      I want to know the TMSH commands or iControl APIs pertaining to the requirement.

       

      Thank you for the response.
