Before uploading a certificate to the LoadMaster, the certificate file must first be uploaded to Orchestrator. For step-by-step instructions on how to upload a file, refer to the Upload Files section.

When uploading a certificate file via Orchestrator (or via the Progress Kemp API), both the certificate and key must be concatenated into the one file. The certificate file must be listed on top, followed by the private key at the bottom - this is the format which is required by the API which is what the Progress Kemp Orchestrator plugin is based upon. An example file is shown in the screenshot above.

After a certificate file has been uploaded to Orchestrator, it can then be uploaded to the LoadMaster using the Add Certificate workflow.

  1. Enter the username and password to access the LoadMaster.
  2. Specifying the SSL certificate is optional - this is the certificate file used to authenticate to the LoadMaster (the root LoadMaster certificate).
    Note: This is the certificate file used to authenticate to the LoadMaster - this is not the field used to upload a new certificate.
  3. Click Not set in the Select the LoadMaster to add the certificate to field.

  4. Expand the Kemp directory.

  13. Enter the passphrase which was used when creating the certificate in the Enter the passphrase for this certificate text box.
  14. Enter a recognizable name for the certificate in the Enter a LoadMaster identifier for this certificate text box. This is a friendly name for the certificate which will be displayed in the LoadMaster.
  15. If replacing an existing certificate of the same name, select Yes.
