TN 7738 - How do I set up an SSL certificate on an F5 Firepass VPN?

Question:

How do I set up an SSL certificate on an F5 Firepass VPN?

Answer:

There are two main steps to setup SSL with your F5 Firepass VPN: generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and installing the certificate.

To generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

1. Open the Admin Console.
2. Click Server.
3. Click Security.
4. Select the Certificate link.
5. Select Generate a New Certificate Request.
6. Complete the Certificate Request Form and then select Generate Request.
7. Download the Certificate Request file. It should be in ZIP format and will contain the CSR and the private key. Unzip the files and store the private key in a secure location.
8. Open the CSR file in a text editor to access the CSR.

To install the certificate

1. Open the Admin Console.
2. Click Server.
3. Click Security.
4. Select the Certificate link.
5. Select Install.
6. Select Add New Certificate.
7. Copy and paste the SSL certificate into the new certificate box.
8. Copy and paste the private key (which can be obtained from the downloaded ZPI file) into the cryptographic key box.
9. Enter the password that was used when creating the CSR. If there was no password used, you can leave this field blank.
10. Enter the Entrust L1C Chain Certificate into the Intermediate Certificate box.
11. Click Go to complete the installation.
