Citrix ADC

You can provision a certificate to an existing SSL server on your Citrix ADC, or you can use TLS Protect Cloud to create a new SSL virtual server setting. The steps below walk you through both scenarios.

  1. In the TLS Protect Cloud toolbar, click Machines.
  2. Click the checkbox next to the Citrix ADC machine that you want to provision a certificate to.
  3. Click Provision a certificate.

  4. From the Choose a certificate from the inventory field, begin typing the certificate name you want to provision. Click the certificate when you see it listed.

    Verify that you've selected the correct certificate by reviewing the Subject DN, Validity, and Fingerprint.

  5. In Certificate Name, enter the name for this certificate as you want it to appear on your Citrix ADC.

    Note

    Each Certificate Name must be unique. A certificate with a duplicate Certificate Name will produce an error when attempting to provision.

  6. In Chain Bundle Name, enter the name for the CA certificate bundle as you want it to appear on your Citrix ADC.

    Note

    Each Chain Bundle Name must be unique. A certificate with a duplicate Chain Bundle Name will produce an error when attempting to provision.

  7. In the Partition field, enter a Citrix ADC partition name. This partition must already exist on the Citrix ADC. Leaving this field blank will default to the Citrix ADC's default partition.

    Note

    The partition name is case-sensitive.

  8. From the Endpoint Type drop-down, select either Virtual Server, Service, or Service Group, depending on the type of Citrix ADC profile you're provisioning to.

  9. In the Endpoint Name field, enter a Virtual Server, Service, or Service Group name. This can be either a name that is already in use on the Citrix ADC partition or a new name.

    What happens if the name is already in use?

    If the endpoint name you entered already exists in the Citrix ADC partition, then TLS Protect Cloud will provision the certificate to that endpoint type. Otherwise, TLS Protect Cloud creates an endpoint type using the name you enter here.

  10. In the SNI field, you can optionally enter an alternative DNS name for Server Name Indication.

  11. If you don't want the certificate to be pushed when you save, toggle the Push upon saving slider to No.

  12. Click Save.

After saving, the certificate is pushed to the Citrix ADC partition that you specified, and an installation is created on the Installations tab. If you created a new profile, that profile is now ready to be assigned to a virtual server or HTTPS health monitor on the Citrix ADC.
