    Table 1 Certificate parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Certificate name.

    Expires

    Certificate expiration time.

    It is recommended that you update the certificate before it expires. Otherwise, all WAF protection rules will be unable to take effect, and there can be massive impacts on the origin server, even more severe than a crashed host or website access failures. For more details, see Updating a Certificate.

    Domain Name

    The domain names protected by the certificate. Each domain name must be bound to a certificate. One certificate can be used for multiple domain names.

Other Operations

  • To change the certificate name, move the cursor over the name of the certificate, click image3, and enter a certificate name.

    Important

    If the certificate is in use, unbind the certificate from the domain name first. Otherwise, the certificate name cannot be changed.

  • To view details about a certificate, click View in the Operation column of the certificate.

  • In the row containing the certificate you want, click Use in the Operation column to use the certificate to the corresponding domain name.

  • To delete a certificate, locate the row of the certificate and click Delete in the Operation column.
