Using a Certificate for a Protected Website in WAF

If you configure Client Protocol to HTTPS for your website, the website needs an SSL certificate. This topic describes how to bind an SSL certificate that you have uploaded to WAF to a website.

If you have enabled enterprise projects, you can select your enterprise project from the Enterprise Project drop-down list and bind certificates to websites in the project.

Prerequisites

  • Your certificate is still valid.
  • Your website uses HTTPS as the client protocol.

Constraints

  • An SSL certificate can be used for multiple protected websites.
  • A protected website can use only one SSL certificate.
