This article will serve as a walkthrough to upload your own SSL Certificate, Private Key, and CA/Chain-Bundle in order to set up Dedicated SSL and deliver content over HTTPS.
To set up a Dedicated SSL, please follow these steps:
Setup Dedicated SSL
-
Login to the MaxCDN Control Panel.
-
Select Account.
-
Select SSL.
-
Select New Certificate.
-
Upload certificate content (certificate, key, and CA) and select CREATE.
-
Now navigate back to the zone on which to install the certificate. Select Zones.
-
View your zones (Pull zones for example).
-
Manage the zone.
-
Select the EdgeSSL™ tab.
- Make sure the Enable Shared SSL is disabled.
-
Select Dedicated SSL.
- Under the Dedicated SSL box you can:
-
Choose an uploaded certificate:
This will allow you to install your own SSL Certificate, Private Key, and CA/Chain-Bundle (if you have one). You need to click on each option to open the text box in which you will paste the data; whether it is the SSL Certificate, the Private Key, and the CA/Chain-Bundle. It will take about a minute or less, then the SSL certificate will be installed.
-
Upload a new certificate to your account:
This is a shortcut to the previous option where you can specifically upload a new certificate to be used on a zone in question.
-
- When a certificate is uploaded it can be installed by choosing it from the drop-down list and selecting INSTALL.
- All done! Now the custom SSL URL, e.g: https://cdn.yourdomain.com is available in your SSL pages.
