The following instructions will guide you through the CSR generation process on F5 BIG-IP Loadbalancer (version 9). To learn more about CSRs and the importance of your private key, reference our Overview of Certificate Signing Request article. If you already generated the CSR and received your trusted SSL certificate, reference our SSL Installation Instructions and disregard the steps below.
1. Open the F5 BIGIP Web GUI.
Under Local Traffic select SSL Certificates and then Create.
Use the crypto module from npm to generate KeyPair. To know more checkout documentation. 
Var crypto = require('crypto');var primelength = 60;var diffHell = crypto.createDiffieHellman(primelength);diffHell.generateKeys('base64');console.log('Public Key: ',diffHell.getPublicKey('base64'));console.log('Private Key: ',diffHell.getPrivateKey('base64'));console.log('Public Key: ',diffHell.getPublicKey('hex'));console.log('Private Key: ',diffHell.getPrivateKey('hex'));Above is a example snippet.
2. Enter General Properties
Under General Properties enter a certificatefriendly name which will help distinguish the CSR going forward.
3. Enter Certificate Properties
Under Certificate Properties enter the following CSR details:
- Issuer: Select the issuing “Certificate Authority”.

Upon generating your CSR, your order will enter the validation process with the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) and require the certificate requester to complete some form of validation depending on the certificate purchased. For information regarding the different levels of the validation process and how to satisfy the industry requirements, reference our validation articles.
After you complete the validation process and receive the trusted SSL Certificate from the issuing Certificate Authority (CA), proceed with the next step using our SSL Installation Instructions for F5 BIG IP Loadbalancer (version 9).
