Adding a certificate to a domain

You can add an SSL server certificate to an existing domain by using the HCP System Management Console.

Before you begin

To view existing domains and SSL server certificates, you need the monitor or administrator role. To create and delete domains and SSL server certificates, you need the administrator role.

Procedure

  1. Open the HCP System Management Console.

  2. From the top-level menu, select Security Domains and Certificates.

    The Domains and Certificates page opens.
  3. In the list of domains, click the name of the domain that you want to add a certificate to.

  4. In the panel that opens, click New Certificate.

  5. Select one of these options:

    • Generate and install self-signed certificate
    • Generate CSR
    • Install PKCS12 certificate
  6. Take one of these actions:

    • If you selected Generate and install self-signed certificate, click Generate Certificate.
    • If you selected Generate CSR, click Generate CSR.
    • If you selected Install PKCS12 certificate, click Install Certificate.

Next steps

After you generate a CSR, you need to download it to a file that you can send to the CA. Later, when you receive the certificate from the CA, you need to upload it to HCP.
