F5 products

Integration overview

The DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager integrates with several F5 products, on-premises or in the cloud, to automate certificate issuance, renewal and deployment in those products.

• F5 Big-IP
• F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP)
• F5 Distributed Cloud (F5 XC)

This integration eliminates manual tasks, prevents outages, enforces modern crypto policies and strengthens compliance for continuous trust and improved operational resilience.

What it does

• Discovers all existing TLS/SSL certificates in F5 XC namespaces and on F5 BIG-IP LTM and ADSP appliances.
• 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 and cloud instances.
• 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 and cloud instances have valid, trusted, and compliant certificates with increased cryptographic agility.

How it integrates

• Uses the DigiCert sensor, post-enrollment scripts and plugins for secure communication with F5 products.
• 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
