An SSL certificate is required to be installed on the LoadMaster to support load-balanced components such as the Secure Access Service.

The certificate needs to match the hostname which is used to connect to the load-balanced services of the LoadMaster and can be a single wildcard, for example *.domain.com, or multiple regular certificates, for example secure.domain.com.

To install an SSL certificate on the LoadMaster, follow the steps below in the LoadMaster Web User Interface (WUI):

  1. In the main menu, select Certificates & Security > SSL Certificates.
  2. Click Import Certificate.

  1. Click Choose File or Browse.
  2. Browse to and select the certificate.
  3. Enter a Pass Phrase if needed.
  4. Enter a name (preferably the DNS name of the service) in the Certificate Identifier field.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click OK.

This certificate will be assigned to some of the Virtual Services in later steps.

It is also possible to use this certificate for administrative purposes (browsing the LoadMaster WUI). To do this, on the Manage Certificates screen, select the certificate in the Administrative Certificate drop-down list and click Use Certificate.
