Viewing Certificate Information

This topic describes how to view certificate details, including the certificate name, domain name a certificate is used for, and expiration time.

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

Prerequisites

You have obtained certificates from Huawei Cloud CCM, or uploaded certificates to WAF.

Constraints

  • To receive certificate expiration notifications, you need to configure certificate expiration notifications on the Instance Management > Notifications page.
  • If you update or import a certificate when adding a website to WAF, the Certificate Source column for this type of certificate is SCM. For those certificates, only Use and Delete buttons are available in the Operation column.

Checking Certificate Details

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner and choose Web Application Firewall under Security & Compliance.
  4. In the navigation pane, choose Objects > Certificates.
  5. View the certificate information. For details about related parameters, see Table 1.

    Description

    Name

    Certificate name.

    Type

    Only International certificates are supported.

    Expires

    Certificate expiration time.

    It is recommended that you update the certificate before it expires.

For more details, see Updating the Certificate Used for a Website.

    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.

    Certificate Source
    • WAF: The certificate is added to the WAF console.
    • SCM: Certificates WAF obtained when you import or update certificates during website connection. You can only Use and Delete this type of certificate in WAF.

    Enterprise Project

    The enterprise project that the certificate belongs to.

    Sharing Status

    Whether the certificate is shared with other enterprise projects.

    • Shared
    • Unshared
