Advantages

Quick SSL certificate issuance

One-click certificate request. You can purchase multiple SSL certificates of different CAs in one place.

Varied SSL certificate types from world-renowned CAs

A wealth of certificates issued by the world's leading digital CAs are available, such as OV, OV Pro, EV, EV Pro, and DV (Basic) certificates.

One-Stop SSL certificate management

SCM lets you easily apply for, manage, query, and verify certificates for use with other Huawei Cloud services. You can upload SSL certificates you have bought from third parties to CCM and manage all your certificates in one place. For those external certificates, you can query them, quickly use them for other cloud products, and enable expiration notifications.

Identity authentication

Using an SSL certificate to authenticate your website outperforms other encryption methods as visitors can view information about website owners and verify website identity. This builds trust between your website and visitors and guarantee them that they are not visiting a phishing website.

Quickly Deploying Certificates to Cloud Products

You can deploy an SSL certificate to other Huawei Cloud services (such as CDN, ELB, and WAF) you subscribe in just a few clicks.

Private CA Hosting

You can easily manage CAs and certificates on Huawei Cloud in pay-per-use billing mode without having to build or maintain complex CA infrastructures.
