Why Certificate cannot be copied to its peer through Sync?

Hi, I use the blow steps to create certificate. and then Sync from this F5 to its peer. The copy always fails because the Sync always fails. The Sync system always works well except for the certificate. We can copy all other configuration change to its peer through Sync, but we cannot copy the certificate to its peer through Sync. Anyone have some suggestion? Thank you

 

System >>> File Management >>> SSL Certificate List >>> click Create

  • There are many configuration objects and attributes that are not synchronized between BIG-IP systems in a device group during ConfigSync, including apparently system certificates and keys. You must manually create/import these on each device. I recommend looking at https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/k/21/sol21259300.html for a list.

     

  • Thank you for your reply. I found the issue in my F5. I am using guest to configure certificate. after I changed the guest to another new guest, i can copy certificate to its peer successfully through Sync. The link you showed me is a good instruction for us to know which can be copied by Sync. But Why does it say certificate cannot be copied by Sync? Maybe it means it is for host?
