Creating an SSL/TLS certificate for FlashEdge distribution
When you create a certificate, you specify the primary (apex) domain name or subdomain for the certificate, such as example.com or app.example.com.
When you create a certificate for domain example.com, you'll automatically receive a certificate with a wildcard for subdomains (*.example.com), allowing you to use your distribution with any subdomain. This is also applicable to lower-level domains, so if you create a certificate for app.example.com, you’ll automatically get the certificate for *.app.example.com.
After you update the DNS record of your domain to point to your distribution, your distribution accepts the traffic and serves your content using HTTPS.
Complete the following procedure to create an SSL/TLS certificate for your distribution.
Sign in to the FlashEdge.
Choose the distribution for which you want to create a certificate.
Choose the Https tab.
Click on “Create certificate”.
Enter the domain name (example.com, app.example.com) that you want to use with the certificate.
Choose Create.
Your certificate request is submitted, and the status of your new certificate is changed to PENDING_VALIDATION. During this time, FlashEdge waits for you to add a validation CNAME record to the DNS of the primary domain.
