Load Balancer
Load Balancers module provides integrations with products like F5 BIG-IP LTM and Citrix NetScaler which allow the user to automate and manage SSL/TLS certificate renewals for these applications. It handles the renewal end to end: generating the key and CSR, obtaining the certificate from your CA, installing it on the appliance, and binding it to the object that serves traffic.
F5 Orchestrator and the Citrix NS Agent are separate Windows services, one per platform. Each runs on a host in your network (not on the appliance itself), polls CertSecure Manager over HTTPS, and connects to its appliance over SSH using the platform’s own CLI: tmsh on F5, the NetScaler CLI on NetScaler.
This section covers both platforms in two self-contained parts:
- F5 – the end-to-end renewal process and data flow for the F5 Orchestrator, followed by the prerequisites and the steps to install, register, and validate it.
- NetScaler – the end-to-end renewal process and data flow for the Citrix NS Agent, followed by the prerequisites and the steps to install, register, and validate it.
