Installing an SSL Certificate in F5 BIG-IP Loadbalancer
After your certificate request is approved, you can download your SSL and intermediate certificate from within the SSL application. For more information see Downloading Your SSL Certificate. Both of these files must be installed on your Web server.
You may also download the intermediate certificate from the repository.
NOTE: When downloading your certificate, select
To Install SSL Certificates
- Launch the F5 BIG-IP Web GUI.
- Under Local Traffic, select SSL certificates.
- Select the name you assigned to the certificate under General Properties.
- Browse to the your_domain_name.crt file that you received from us.
- Click Open and then Import.

Using Your SSL Using an Earlier Version of BIG-IP Loadbalancer

- Copy the intermediates bundle (gd_bundle.crt ) to the
/config/bigconfig/ssl.crt/folder. - Restart the proxy using these commands:
# bigpipe proxy <IP Address >:443 disable
