Overview

When a domain name is successfully integrated into EdgeOne for acceleration, users' requests to access the domain will be routed to nearby edge nodes via EdgeOne's traffic scheduling system. If the user initiates the request via HTTPS, the domain must have the HTTPS certificate on EdgeOne edge nodes to successfully complete the HTTPS handshake with the client.
﻿
Edge HTTPS certificate configuration is for configuring the available HTTPS certificate for your current domain. The certificate will be deployed to EdgeOne edge nodes. Based on the certificate type you own, edge HTTPS certificate supports several different configuration methods.
Configuration Method
Applicable Scenario
﻿Apply for free certificate﻿
If you have not yet purchased SSL certificates, you can use EdgeOne to automatically complete the application, deployment, and renewal of free certificates, so as to reduce the operational workload. The currently applied free certificates are RSA certificates from Trust Asian or Let’s Encrypt.
﻿Use managed SSL certificate﻿
If you already have a domain name certificate, you can deploy the certificate uploaded to the Tencent Cloud SSL console to an EdgeOne edge node. You can deploy at most one RSA, ECC, or SM2 certificate to the EdgeOne node simultaneously.
﻿Use Keyless Certificate﻿
Keyless certificate allows users to upload only the certificate public key to Tencent Cloud SSL Certificate, and maintain the certificate private key through deploying a private server, suitable for customers with stricter security requirements for certificate management.
