Have you tried to generate CSR from F5 ?
http://www.digicert.com/csr-creation-f5-big-ip.htm
If CSR is generated, are you also able to generate certificate through Windows Certification Authority ?
In order to generate certificate through windows based CA, you need to open up windows CA through web interface. For ex: http://mycaserver/certsrv
For CA web interface, you must install CA web enrollment component on CA server as well.
If you have generated certificate successfully, are you able to import in F5 device ?
What exact problem you are facing please ?

Hi Mahesh,
I have checked these option, but unfortunate this will not help.
I want to setup standalone CA for certificates.
Root Certificate will be placed in BIG-IP for client certificate sign and verification.
Client certificates will be created from the same standalone CA server, manually it be installed on the laptops those are not part of domain and who likely working from outside office. ( Assume they are clients and outside domain laptops).
I have installed Standalone CA.
Created Root Certificates and copied the same and placed in BIG-IP.
Created client certificate from the standalone CA server, installed on the laptop and i can see that installed client certificate located in Personal Certificates.
Assumed it will work, but it did not and looking for help.
Please help.....
