Using a Certificate for a Protected Website in WAF

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.
