To back up certificates and keys, follow the steps below in the LoadMaster WUI:
-
Go to Certificates & Security > Backup/Restore Certs.
-
In the Certificate Backup section, enter the desired Passphrase twice. This passphrase is needed when restoring the backup.
-
After the file is downloaded, rename it to certbackup.gz.
-
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.
-
Rename the resulting file certbackup.aes.
-
Download and install OpenSSL from the web.
-
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. -
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.
