  • Hello PhilDB.

    Actually, there is no difference between:

    delete sys crypto cert test
    delete sys file ssl-cert test

    The difference between module 'crypto' and 'file ssl-cert' is only during creation. Let me show you with an example:

    # Create cert with crypto
    create sys crypto key test key-size 1024
    create sys crypto cert test key test common-name test.com
     
    # Create cert with file ssl-cert
    create sys file ssl-cert test source-path http://repo.example.com/test.crt

    As you can see above, one for importing files ('file ssl-cert') and the other one for creating them by F5 device.

    Despite this, both are stored in the same database.

    Regards,
