Deploying an SSL Certificate to ELB

  • When an SSL certificate is issued, you can update it to Huawei Cloud Elastic Load Balance (ELB) in just a few clicks. With SSL certificates, data access to your website that uses ELB is more secure.
  • Updating an ELB certificate using CCM is updating the certificate of the ELB listener. After you use the deployment function on the CCM console to update the certificate content and private key, ELB automatically updates the certificate content and private key on all listeners associated with the certificate.

Prerequisites

  • You have enabled Elastic Load Balance (ELB) as required below, added your website domain name to ELB, and configured an SSL certificate for the website in ELB.

    If you have not purchased ELB or the domain name you want to use the certificate for has not been added to ELB, deploying the certificate to ELB may fail.

  • You have an SSL certificate that is in Issued or Hosted status.

Constraints

  • You need to create a listener and configure HTTPS for the listener. This means the certificate that is being used for ELB and you want to update in CCM must have been configured in ELB at the very beginning. Then, you can quickly update it in CCM.
  • If an ELB certificate is used for multiple domain names, ensure that the new certificate you want to update in CCM for ELB must match with those domain names. If they do not match, the domain names in the new certificate will overwrite the ones in the original certificate after the update.
  • If you select Upload a CSR for CSR when applying for a certificate, the issued certificate cannot be directly deployed to other cloud products through SCM because no private key of the certificate is available on the Huawei cloud. To use a certificate in a cloud product, download the certificate to your local PC first. Then, upload the certificate and private key to the cloud product and complete deployment. Alternatively, upload the private key to the cloud certificate and management service.

Deploying Certificates

  1. Log in to the CCM console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose SSL Certificate Manager > SSL Certificates.
  3. Locate the row containing the certificate you want to deploy on other cloud products, and click Deploy in the Operation to go to the certificate deployment details page.

  4. On the displayed page, select ELB in the Deployment Details area.
  5. Click on the right of the Region drop-down list and select the region where you want to deploy the certificate.
  6. Select the domain name you want to update the certificate for and click Update Certificate in the Operation column.

    To update the certificates for multiple domain names, select all the target domain names and click Batch Update above the domain name list.

  7. (Optional) If the certificate has been deployed for the current domain name, after you click Update, a dialog box is displayed, indicating that the certificate is deployed .
  8. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the information. Click Confirm.

    If a message indicating that the certificate is updated successfully is displayed, the SSL certificate is updated for ELB.

Other Operations

If the certificate is updated on CCM, the certificate deployed on the ELB listener is also updated. You can view information about the bound ELB listener on CCM.
