Install your Trustwave SSL certificate Install your Trustwave SSL certificate
When your certificate is issued, you will receive a ZIP file via e-mail which contains four files. You will need two files from that ZIP file, the file ending in .cer, and the file called xroot.crt. The .cer file contains your actual certificate while the xroot.crt contains the Trustwave intermediate certificates that are required for our certificates to function properly.

You will need to move both files to the Big-IP. We recommend using FTP since it is generally the easiest method. Save your .cer file that you received via e-mail in the /config/bigconfig/ssl.crt/ folder as www.yourdomain.com.crt. The Big-IP requires certificates to end in .crt in order to function properly.

Install the intermediate certificates Install the intermediate certificates
Take the xroot.crt file from the ZIP file and move it onto the Big-IP. Again, we recommend using FTP. Save it in the /config/bigconfig/ssl.crt/ folder as intermediate-ca.crt.
Completing the installation Completing the installation
To install the new certificates, simply disable and enable the proxy:

# bigpipe proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 disable
# bigpipe proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 enable
