Does SCM Provide Free Certificates?
In HUAWEI CLOUD SCM, you can get free single-domain basic DV certificates issued by DigiCert. The validity period of such free certificates is one year.
For more details, see How Can I Apply for a Free SSL Certificate?
- You can apply for a maximum of 20 free SSL certificates under each account. In SCM, only one free certificate can be applied for at a time.
- Deleted certificates, revoked certificates, certificates that failed to be purchased due to overdue bills, and purchased certificates that are deleted without being applied for from CA are all counted towards the free certificate quota.
- Your account and the IAM users created under your account share the quota of the 20 free certificates. For example, if an account has applied for 20 free certificates, no free certificate can be applied for by the account and the IAM users created using this account.
- One free SSL certificate can be used for only one single domain name.
- Free certificates cannot be used to protect IP addresses or wildcard domain names.
- The trust and security level of free certificates are low. They are recommended only for testing.
- For DigiCert DV (Basic) free certificates, no free technical support or installation guide is provided. To get technical support, you can purchase the HTTPS service in Marketplace on HUAWEI CLOUD website.
