F5 BIG-IP

    2. Select the **F5 BIG-IP** option.

    3. Configure the **Destination**:
        - **F5 BIG-IP Connection**: The F5 BIG-IP Connection to authenticate with.
        - **Partition** (Optional): The F5 partition where certificates will be stored. Defaults to `Common`.
        - **Profile Binding** (Optional): Attach each certificate to a Client SSL or Server SSL profile so the BIG-IP starts using it right away. Choose **None** to just upload certificates without attaching them.
        - **Profile Name** (Conditional): Required when **Profile Binding** is set. The name of the SSL profile inside the partition.
        - **Create profile if missing** (Optional): Create the SSL profile on the BIG-IP if it doesn't exist yet.
        - **Parent Profile** (Optional): The existing F5 profile to copy settings from when creating the new one. Defaults to `/Common/clientssl` (Client SSL) or `/Common/serverssl` (Server SSL).

    4. Configure the **Sync Options**:
        - **Enable Removal of Expired/Revoked Certificates**: Remove certificates from the BIG-IP when they're no longer active in Infisical.
        - **Include Root CA in Certificate Chain**: Include the root CA in the chain uploaded to the BIG-IP. Most setups don't need the root, since clients already trust it.
        - **Preserve Certificate on Renewal**: When on, renewed certificates keep the same name on the BIG-IP, so any profile or virtual server using them keeps working without changes. When off, the renewed certificate is uploaded with a new name and the original stays on the BIG-IP.
        - **Certificate Name Schema** (Optional): Customize the name used on the BIG-IP. Must include `{{certificateId}}`. Defaults to `Infisical-{{certificateId}}`. The certificate chain follows the same name with `-chain` added.
        - **Auto-Sync Enabled**: Automatically sync certificates when changes occur (including auto-renewals).

    5. Configure the **Details**:
        - **Name**: The name of your sync.
        - **Description**: Optional description.

    6. Select which certificates should be synced.

    7. Review and click **Create Sync**.

    To create an **F5 BIG-IP Certificate Sync**, make an API request to the [Create F5 BIG-IP PKI Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/pki/syncs/f5-big-ip/create) endpoint.

    ### Sample request

    <Note>
      You can optionally specify `certificateIds` during sync creation to immediately add certificates to the sync.
      If not provided, you can add certificates later using the certificate management endpoints.
