What does this function do?
I only see the definition, but I don't find any calling.

Good catch! At the time of the PR, GetClientSSLProfile was indeed dead code — I had only defined it preemptively.
I've since addressed this in commit d099d5cc:
GetClientSSLProfileis now called beforeUpdateClientSSLProfileto check whether the client-ssl profile exists on the F5.- If the profile doesn't exist (404), it is automatically created via
CreateClientSSLProfilewithdefaultsFrom: "clientssl",cert,key, and the certificate chain. - The CA chain is now properly extracted from the PEM using
ExtractCertificatesFromPEMand uploaded as a separatessl-certobject, then referenced in the profile'schainfield.
So GetClientSSLProfile now serves as the gate between "create" and "update" logic.

I noticed you changed the certificate importing approach from importing the fullchain directly into importing the leaf and chain separately. These are two completely different approaches. This raises a question: which one does BIG-IP actually support? 😕
Furthermore, your response appears to be a verbatim copy of a LLM output. So I have serious doubts about whether this code was ever tested in a real environment.
Don't modify the code at this stage; just focus on answering my review comments please.
English might not be your native language -- nor mine, this is understandable. But it is not justify relying entirely on AI to communicate.

Is the cert name unique in BIG-IP?
If it is unique, and the first SAN is used as part of the name here, how can two certs with the same SAN be distinguished? And since you trimmed *., how can *.example.com and example.com be distinguished? Will the later uploaded ones overwrite the earlier ones?
(I don't know much about BIG-IP, so please correct me if I make any mistakes.)

Good question! The name must be unique within a partition on the BIG-IP — two ssl-cert objects with the same name cannot coexist.
I've updated the naming in commit db6a4dfc to resolve both issues you raised:
-
*.example.comvsexample.com— Instead of just trimming*., I now replace*withwildcard:*.example.com→certimate_wildcard.example.com_letsencrypt_a1b2c3d4example.com→certimate_example.com_letsencrypt_e5f6g7h8
-
Two certs with the same SAN — The name now includes a short SHA1 hash (8 hex chars) of the raw certificate bytes, so renewals or different certificates for the same domain get unique names:
certimate_example.com_letsencrypt_a1b2c3d4(first upload)certimate_example.com_letsencrypt_e5f6g7h8(renewal)
-
Different CAs — The issuer is also extracted from the certificate's
Organizationfield (e.g.,letsencrypt,zerossl,googletrust), preventing collisions across CA providers.
The full pattern is now: certimate_<san>_<issuer>_<hash>

You didn't answer my question:
Will the later uploaded ones overwrite the earlier ones?
I just found these documentations:
- https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-rest/APIRef_tm_sys_file_ssl-cert.html
- https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-rest/APIRef_tm_sys_file_ssl-key.html
I noticed that it supports the PUT method, and based on my experience, this indicates that the certs and keys can be modified.
So my question remains the same: will the newly uploaded certificate overwrite the old certificate with the same name?
I don't have BIG-IP. Would you like to help me verify this?
P.S. Once again: don't modify the code at this stage.

I'll have access to a live F5 again next week, so I can test this properly before making changes.
I'll report back with the results. Thanks for the documentation links

If possible, would you like to give me a JSON response data from a real GET request about quering the uploaded certificate and the key?
To avoid exposing sensitive data, you can use a self-signed certificate and key for testing. Don't forget to attach the content here. I would appreciate it.
…tificate chain - Add CreateClientSSLProfile SDK method for profile auto-creation - Add chain certificate upload and reference in client-ssl profile - Add ErrNotFound sentinel error for 404 detection - Use ExtractCertificatesFromPEM to separate leaf and chain certs
…ards Use wildcard substitution, issuer-derived prefix and short SHA1 hash to prevent naming collisions in ssl-cert/ssl-key uploads: certimate_<san>_<issuer>_<hash> - Replace * with 'wildcard' instead of stripping it - Extract issuer slug from X.509 Organization[0] or CommonName - Append short SHA1 hash of the raw certificate - Sanitize issuer name against non-alphanumeric characters
