Two-way TLS to the F5 Load Balancer

Not applicable

Hi,

I've attempted to setup two way ssl on target servers and our F5 load balancer is not receiving the correct handshake.

I've used the SSL Test Tool on the datacentre truststore (public certs only, retrieved using firefox) with the apigee client cert + key and got "Received fatal alert: handshake_failure".

I was able to curl it locally successfully with the same cert.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dáire

I figured it out in the end, extra newline character (additional blank line) in our cert and key files. Our F5 must be very sensitive.
