# Link a Certificate to a Site

Once a certificate is available in the Certificate Manager, it can be associated with a site via the Media Site Configuration.

          Note:

          

Associating a certificate with a site enables port 443 in addition to port 80.

To link a certificate to a site:

1. Open [Delivery Service Management](https://qc-services.cqloud.com/md/media-delivery-management?).
2. Navigate to the **My Media Sites** page and select the site.
3. Under Media Site Info, click **Select Certificate**.

Or, if a certificate is already associated with a site, and you'd like to change the selection, click the Pencil icon next to Selected Certificate. ![pencilIcon2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/fa039225-513b-46a1-ba78-a57a1f1cb7c6/Images/Documentation/pencilIcon2.png)
4. Select from the list of available certificates and **Apply**. The Certificate Selection dialog displays two certificate lists:
  - Compatible Certificates - Certificates that cover the HTTPS hosts of the selected site configuration version.
  - Non-Compatible Certificates - Certificates available to your user that are not compatible with the site configuration version.

          Important!

          

While you can link a certificate to a site without publishing, the certificate only becomes active the next time you [publish the site](/v1/docs/publish-a-site).
