Automating certificate requests on network appliances such as load balancers requires a CertCentral sensor, the same software used for discovery scans.
In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Automation > Manage automation.
On the Manage automation page, select Add automation.
On the Set up automation page, under the load balancers section, select Set up a sensor.
On the Set up automation for load balancers page, select one of the following options:
Go back to Automation > Manage automation.
On the Manage automation page , select the name of the agentless automation you just configured.
Review and make sure the host details are correct.
F5 BIG-IP load balancers: Select Private key security type to specify the storage of your private keys.
Automating DV certificate installations: When automating a DV certificate, select DNS integration or provider for the validation of the DNS challenge to prove the ownership of the domains.
The list includes all the integrations added to the sensor.
Important: DNS integrations or providers in the list marked Critical had issues in the past while setting the DNS challenge. They may fail again. We recommend you select another integration or provider for successful validation.
Select Save.
