To back up certificates and keys, follow the steps below in the LoadMaster WUI:

  1. Go to Certificates & Security > Backup/Restore Certs.
  2. In the Certificate Backup section, enter the desired Passphrase twice. This passphrase is needed when restoring the backup.
  3. After the file is downloaded, rename it to certbackup.gz.
  4. Once you have the .gz file, you can either unzip it from the command line using gzip -d or using a tool such as 7-Zip.
  5. Rename the resulting file certbackup.aes.
  6. Download and install OpenSSL from the web.
  7. In OpenSSL, enter: openssl enc -in certbackup.aes -out certbackup.tar -d -aes256 -md md5 -k passphrase
    Note: Where passphrase is the Passphrase you entered when exporting the backup from the LoadMaster.
  8. Untar the resulting file (certbackup.tar).

The resulting folder will contain your certificates.

Note: These files are in standard x.509 certificate format. You can use this certificate and key to import into IIS or any other web server that accepts standard x.509 certificates.
