Create a F5 Distributed Cloud machine

Creating a new machine is the initial step in enabling Certificate Manager - SaaS to connect directly to application keystores for certificate management. Once you have created machines, you can move on to provisioning certificates to those machines.

Before you begin

  • F5 Distributed Cloud Tenant URL
  • F5 Distributed Cloud API Token with required permissions for target namespaces

For more information on generating an API token, refer to the F5 Distributed Cloud API documentation.

  1. Enter the F5 Distributed Cloud Tenant URL.

  2. Enter your API Token previously retrieved from your F5 Distributed Cloud account.

    Warning

    Remember to store your username and password securely when creating a new machine. For security reasons, you will not be able to modify the fields under the "Access" tab without these credentials. This ensures that only authorized individuals can modify these fields.

  3. Click Test Access, then click Continue. Note that Continue is only enabled if the Test Access is successful.
