What Can I Do When I Fail to Pass the Security Approval?

Problem Description

You may receive the following message if your application for a free DV certificate fails to pass the order approval:

This domain name has not passed the security approval by the CA and you cannot apply for the free testing DV certificate. Please use another domain name or apply for a paid certificate.

Possible Causes

Your domain name contains sensitive words.

Known sensitive words that lead to approval failure are:

  • live (excluding top-level domain names ending with .live)
  • bank
  • banc
  • ban.c
  • alpha
  • test
  • example
  • credit
  • Intranet and Internet IP addresses
  • Host name
  • pw (including top-level domain names ending with .pw)
  • apple
  • ebay
  • trust
  • root
  • amazon
  • android
  • visa
  • google
  • discover
  • financial
  • wordpress
  • pal
  • hp
  • lv
  • free
  • SCP

CAs do not reveal more details about the validation failure to HUAWEI CLOUD.

Solution

Based on the suggestions from the CA, you can:

  • Purchase a paid certificate for the domain name.
  • Use a domain name that does not contain the sensitive words described earlier to apply for a testing certificate.
