Configuration Method

Context

Prerequisites

• You have created a channel, as shown in Creating a Channel.
• CNAME records have been added to your domains' DNS records.

• The HTTPS certificate has been prepared. If no HTTPS certificate is available, go to the SSL Certificate Manager to buy an HTTPS certificate.
• The HTTPS certificate format must meet the requirements. If your certificate is not in PEM format, convert the certificate to the PEM format.

Enabling HTTPS

1. Log in to the Live console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Domains.
3. Find the streaming domain name whose Subservice Type is Media Liveand for which HTTPS secure acceleration needs to be configured. Then click Manage.
4. In the navigation pane, choose Template Settings > HTTPS Certificate.
5. Click Add. On the page displayed, configure HTTPS parameters, as shown in Figure 1.
   Figure 1 Configuring the HTTPS certificate
   
   Open the obtained certificate file and private key file using a text tool, and copy certificate body and private key content to the corresponding text boxes. Certificates issued by different organizations have the following differences:

   • If your certificate is issued by the root CA, the certificate is a complete certificate. Copy the certificate content.

   • If your certificate is issued by an intermediate CA, the certificate file contains multiple certificates. You need to combine all the certificates into a single certificate. For details, see Certificates Issued by Intermediate CAs.

6. Click OK.
7. Verify whether HTTPS secure acceleration has taken effect.

   Use an HTTPS streaming URL to play a video. If the playback is successful, HTTPS secure acceleration has taken effect.

Updating a Certificate

If your certificate is changed, you need to synchronize new certificate content to the HTTPS settings. The procedure to update a certificate is the same as that to enable HTTPS.
