Upload SSL certs to an A10 vThunder via axapi v3.0

Leigh · July 2018

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me how to upload SSL Certs to an A10 vThunder via axapi 3.0? I want the certificate to be in the payload of the request, rather than having it on a remote server, as I don't want the A10 to be able to connect to outside servers.

Thanks.

Hi Leigh,

Try these.

Import certificate:

curl -X POST \
  https://192.168.0.153/axapi/v3/import \
  -H &#039;authorization: A10 61affb2fec3de67a5da205f921023b&#039; \
  -H &#039;content-type: application/json&#039; \
  -d &#039;{
"import": {
  "ssl-cert": "sd-san.crt",
  "certificate-type":"pem",
  "overwrite":"1",
  "remote-file": "scp://admin:password@192.168.0.18:/private/tftpboot/sd-san.crt",
  "use-mgmt-port": 1
  }
}&#039;

Import certificate key:

curl -X POST \
  https://192.168.0.153/axapi/v3/import \
  -H &#039;authorization: A10 61affb2fec3de67a5da205f921023b&#039; \
  -H &#039;content-type: application/json&#039; \
  -d &#039;{
"import": {
  "ssl-key": "sd-san.key",
  "overwrite":"1",
  "remote-file": "scp://admin:password@192.168.0.18:/private/tftpboot/sd-san.key",
  "use-mgmt-port": 1
  }
}&#039;

The 'remote-file' part is the bit I didn't want to do. I want to be able to upload the cert in the request, rather than specify a remote location.
I don't want our A10 to be able to scp from another server. (or tftp, or http, or whatever)

You can also try with a POST to this URI: /axapi/v3/file/ssl-cert

{
"ssl-cert":{
"file":"certificate",
"certificate-type":"pem",
"file-handle":"certificate.pem",
"action":"import"
}
}
