F5 LTM Advanced configuration—overview
You can use the F5 Local Traffic Manager (F5 LTM Advanced) driver to install and manage SSL certificates on your F5 LTM Advanced iControl platforms.
The F5 LTM Advanced driver supports SSL certificate provisioning, association with client and server profiles, and the administrative certificate on F5 LTM Advanced appliances and virtual editions through the iControl application programming interface (API).
DID YOU KNOW? Using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) as your method of encrypting keys can help you prevent system outages. This is because the ECC algorithm is proving to be more secure than RSA.
For more information about ECC, see About RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) key algorithms.
DID YOU KNOW? The F5 LTM Advanced driver detects name collisions automatically. If the driver encounters a certificate on the target F5 system that uses the same file name as the certificate to be provisioned, it compares them. If they are identical, the driver uses the existing certificate (on the F5 device) and continues normally through the remaining provisioning stages.
In cases where the certificates do not match, the driver attempts to install the certificate you want to provision. In order for this to succeed, the Overwrite Certificate and Key setting on the F5 F5 LTM Advanced Advanced template must be set to Yes. For more details, see Configuring an F5 LTM Advanced application object.
