F5 ADSP

Integration Overview

The DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager integration with F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) automates certificate issuance, renewal, and deployment across F5 environments. By unifying enterprise PKI with F5’s scalable security platform, organizations eliminate manual tasks, prevent outages, enforce modern crypto policies, and strengthen compliance for continuous trust and improved operational resilience. 

What it Does

• Discovers all existing TLS/SSL certificates on F5 BIG-IP LTM alliances.
• Imports discovered certificates into a centralized DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager inventory.
• Automates certificate issuance, renewal and replacement directly from DigiCert-managed sources.
• Securely deploys valid certificates to F5 appliances through a DigiCert sensor.
• Ensures continuous visibility into certificate status, expiration, and compliance posture.

Why it Matters

• Reduce downtime: Eliminate service disruptions due to expired F5 certificates.
• Lower admin effort: Automate renewals and deployment instead of manual updates.
• Centralize visibility: Maintain an accurate inventory of certificates across F5 environments.
• Improve security: Ensure all F5 appliances have valid, trusted, and compliant certificates with increased cryptographic agility.

How it Integrates

• Uses the DigiCert sensor for secure communication with F5 BIG-IP LTM.
• Trust Lifecycle Manager acts as the control plane for certificate discovery, issuance, renewal, and deployment.
• No external F5 API keys or manual imports required.
• No inbound network communications from the DigiCert cloud
