Provision to an A10 Thunder ADC

Use this procedure to provision a certificate from Next-Gen Trust Security to an A10 Thunder ADC machine.
  1. Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
  2. Click Insights > Certificate Installations > Machines.
  3. Click the more options
    button at the right end of the A10 Thunder ADC machine's row, and then select Provision.
  4. From Choose a certificate from the inventory, search for and select the certificate you want to provision.
    Verify that you selected the correct certificate by reviewing the Subject DN, Validity, and Fingerprint.
  5. In Partition, enter the name of the A10 Thunder ADC partition that hosts the virtual server. The default is shared, which is the device's default partition.
    For a certificate found by discovery, this field already contains the partition the certificate was discovered in.
    Important: If the device has partitions other than shared and you leave Partition empty, provisioning fails. Enter the partition you want to provision to, or shared for the default partition, and then save again.
  6. (Optional) In Client SSL Template Name, enter the client SSL template name used by the A10 Thunder ADC client virtual port.
    Note: If you leave this field empty, Next-Gen Trust Security automatically generates a client SSL template name.
  7. In Virtual Server Name, enter the name you want the certificate to use on the A10 Thunder ADC.
    What if the virtual server name is already in use?
    When provisioning a certificate, Next-Gen Trust Security checks whether the name is already in use on the A10 Thunder ADC:
    • If the name is not in use, it is applied as entered.
    • If the name is already in use by the same certificate, that certificate is reused.
    • If the name is in use by a different certificate, Next-Gen Trust Security creates a new certificate name by appending the expiration date and a unique value (for example, my-cert-name_22Oct05_3117).
  8. In Virtual Port Number, enter the port number.
  9. In Virtual Port Protocol, enter the protocol. If left blank, HTTPS is used by default.
  10. (Optional) To prevent the certificate from being pushed immediately, set Push upon saving to No.
  11. Click Save.
After saving, Next-Gen Trust Security provisions the certificate to the specified A10 Thunder ADC virtual server, in the partition you selected, and creates an installation record on the Installations tab.
