Why a Not Secure Warning Is Displayed in the Address Bar of My Browser?

If your website is not bound with an SSL certificate, a Not Secure warning will be displayed in the address bar, indicating that your connection with that page is insecure.

If you want to implement HTTPS for a website, you can purchase an SSL certificate and deploy it on the server corresponding to the website.

An SSL certificate is an SSL-compliant digital certificate issued by a trusted CA. After an SSL certificate is deployed on a server, HTTPS is enabled on the server. The server uses HTTPS to establish encrypted links to the client, ensuring data transmission security.

After an SSL certificate is deployed, when a user accesses a website using HTTPS, the encryption lock icon is displayed in the address bar or on the right of the address bar, indicating that the website is encrypted. If the EV certificate is used, the company name can be directly displayed in the address bar.

For more details, see Purchasing a Certificate.

Why Does the Number of Certificates Reach the Upper Limit?

If the number of certificates you can purchase has reached the upper limit, you cannot add more certificates. This means the free certificate quota for your account has been used up. In this situation, we recommended paid SSL certificates.

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.
