[Product Notices] Huawei Cloud SCM Domain Ownership Verification Policy (File-based Verification) Changed on Nov 1, 2021

Dear customers,

According to the requirements of CA/Browser Forum (CA/B), the policy to verify a domain ownership by file is changed in SCM.

• From November 12, 2021, the file-based domain ownership verification for wildcard domain names will change.
• From December 1, 2021, fie-based domain ownership verification is no longer available. DNS- or email-based domain ownership verification is recommended.

The details are as follows:

• From November 12, 2021, verifying domain ownership by file is no longer supported for wildcard domain names (such as *.example.com).
• From November 12, 2021, if the domain name has been verified by file for a non-wildcard-domain certificate, only the ownership of the current complete domain name is verified.
• From November 12, 2021, if the domain name has been verified by file but the wildcard-domain certificate has not been issued, the domain ownership needs to be re-verified.

Note that:

• There is not impact on your wildcard-domain certificates that have been issued before November 12, 2021.
• DNS or email verification should be used when you apply for wildcard domain certificate from November 12, 2021.
• To get your certificate issued successfully, we recommend DNS or email verification for non-wildcard domain certificates.

If you have any questions during this period, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for using Huawei Cloud.
