Fixed In:

Opened: Jun 10, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) documents command options for apache-ssl-cert objects that suggest that Apache SSL Certificates (apache-ssl-cert objects) support certificate bundles. References to certificate bundles in context of the 'bundle-certificates', 'subject' and 'is_bundle' fields are in error, and should refer to single certificates only. Apache SSL Certificates (apache-ssl-cert objects) do not actually support certificate bundles. On BIG-IP v11.5.0 and later, attempting to create Apache SSL Certificate objects from a certificate bundle will result an error like the following: 01070712:3: Values (/Common/certificate_name) specified for Certificate Bundle Entity (/Common/certificate_name.0 /Common/certificate_name): foreign key index (certificate_file_object_FK) do not point at an item that exists in the database.

Impact

Unable to create Apache SSL Certificate objects from a certificate bundle.

Conditions
