Fixed In:
14.1.0

Opened: May 19, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

RSA type cert/key pair is a mandatory property of a clientSSL profile.

Impact

You are not allowed to assign cert/key pair that is not RSA.

Conditions

This is encountered when configuring a clientSSL profile.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

With this change, a clientSSL profile still requires at least one cert/key pair, but RSA type cert/key pair is no longer mandatory. For example, before this change, the below operation fails because it attempts to assign a clientSSL profile only an EC type cert/key. tmsh create ltm profile client-ssl cssl cert-key-chain replace-all-with { ec { cert ec key ec }} 010717e3:3: Client SSL profile (/Common/cssl): must have RSA Server certificate/key pair. After this change the above operation will be valid and hence the error message will no longer appear.

Behavior Change

RSA type cert/key pair has been a mandatory configuration of a clientSSL profile. With this change, a clientSSL profile still requires at least one cert/key pair, but RSA type cert/key pair is no longer mandatory.
