Author F5 Integration - Certificates

Hi. I have searched extensively on this and haven't found anything so hopefully someone here can help.

I have a three-machine App Center SP2 Cluster running on Win2k SP4 boxes. The cluster is NOT using CLB or NLB. It is managing several Web sites only. It will eventually be an eight-machine cluster, but I am starting with three for now.

Anyway, we are trying to enable/configure the integration with our F5-BigIP load balancer, but have run into trouble getting the setup.bat script to work. I think I have all of the proper switches and IP addresses entered into it correctly, but I cannot
seem to figure out how to get the certificate section to work. This is the part that configures the traffic between each cluster member and the F5 over telnet (port 23), and apparently the BigIP requires a certificate for this traffic?

If someone could post sample code for the setup.bat (that is specific to a BigIP setup) and some pointers for getting this to work I would greatly appreciate it. I can post more details if it would be helpful, so please advise accordingly.

Thanks,

Matt

I am no expert on Big IP, but as I understand it, you export a certificate
from the BigIP device and install it in the root certification authority
certificate store of the Application Center servers. This is needed to
allow communication with the Big IP device.
