Under some conditions, when deleting a SafeNet key, the key is deleted from HSM but not from the BIG-IP system.
If this clientSSL profile is currently used by a virtual server, then SSL connection to this virtual server fails since the key is not in HSM.
This issue happens when the BIG-IP system satisfies the following conditions: 1. A SafeNet-generated key is in use by a clientSSL profile. 2. Safenet HSM is installed.
1. Remove the key/cert from the clientSSL profile, so that they become 'not in use'. 2. Delete the not-in-use key/cert from the BIG-IP system. 2. Configure another key/cert in the clientSSL profile.
In this release, when deleting a SafeNet key, the key is deleted from HSM as well as from the BIG-IP system
