copying certs in /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/

After copying a bunch of certs that I upload and created chains and profiles to another ltm in the same directory, the certs do no appear when I check in System ›› File Management : SSL Certificate List file directory on the target LTM.

 

I restarted apache and tomcat as well big3d but no luck the files that I scp'ed over do no appear when navigating to the section in the web utitly.

 

They do appear in the /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/ directory on the targeted machine. Is there a reason why the certs do not appear ?

 

application delivery
certificate
LTM
scp

    Copying in filestore in not enough. You have to import them in order to create the index.

     

    From the CLI or from the GUI.

    You have to load them in order for them to appear. The files are referenced via the config file. It's not a dynamic check of the FS. I would recommend copying them to a temp dir (keys to /tmp/keys/* and certs to /tmp/certs/*) then you could write a quick script to reference all the objects for loading. 

    install sys crypto key object_name from-local-file /path/to/keyfile
install sys crypto cert object_name from-local-file /path/to/certfile

    from-url is also an option, if you key your keys/certs somewhere your BigIP has access too.
