Why Are Messages Indicating Insecurity Displayed During Video Playback After an HTTPS Certificate Is Configured?

The possible causes are as follows:

  • If your SSL certificate has expired, a message indicating insecurity will be displayed during access. Check whether the SSL certificate has expired. If yes, purchase and use a new certificate.
  • The accessed domain name is not the same as the one associated with the certificate. For example, if you access https://live.huaweicloud.com/ but your certificate is associated with huaweicloud.com, the access will fail. You are advised to purchase an SSL certificate and associate it with the domain name you access.

    For example, if your domain names are at the same level, such as live.huaweicloud.com, test.huaweicloud.com and example.huaweicloud.com, and are included in *.huaweicloud.com, you can purchase a wildcard-domain certificate and associate it with *.huaweicloud.com.

  • Your certificate is a self-signed SSL certificate, which is not trusted by the browser or player and results in continuous security warnings. You are advised to use a secure SSL certificate issued by a trusted CA.
