Within v11.x of LTM/GTM BigIP certificates are located within a folder called ‘certificate_d’ under the necessary partition folder. i.e
/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d
By default everything is placed within the common partition folder ‘Common_d’. Below shows an example
root@gtm:Active:Standalone] # ls -l /config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d total 32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Sep 30 02:52 :Common:ca-bundle.crt_1 -> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Mar 26 11:58 :Common:ca-bundle.crt_13906_1 -> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Sep 30 02:52 :Common:default.crt_1 -> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/default.crt (local device cert) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 26 11:58 :Common:default.crt_13904_1 -> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/default.crt (local device cert) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Sep 30 02:52 :Common:f5-irule.crt_1 -> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/f5-irule.crt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 26 11:58 :Common:f5-irule.crt_13908_1 -> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/f5-irule.crt -rw-r--r-- 1 root apache 997 Mar 28 03:14 :Common:test.crt_32957_1 (custom cert used for virtual server).
