Upload a Certificate

The Upload feature in the QC Services UI uploads the certificate and also automatically associates it with the site. Only one certificate may be associated with a site. If your site configuration includes multiple hosts, make sure that the certificate covers all the site hosts that are configured for secured traffic.

Note: An uploaded certificate is available to everyone in your organization for associating with a site.

To upload a certificate:

1. Navigate to the My Media Sites page and select the site.
2. Open the Certificates tab.
   
   Until a certificate is associated with the site, No Associated Certificates is displayed.
   
   
   

3. Select Upload Certificate.

4. In the Upload Certificate dialog, upload or paste the Certificate, Certificate Chain, and Private Key in the corresponding fields.

5. Select Validate.

6. In the Upload Certificate dialog check the parameters and click Confirm.
   
   
   The certificate is automatically associated with the site, and appears in a table in the main Certificates page.
   

   • CertificateID: A unique ID assigned by Qwilt to the certificate.
   • Common Name: Fully qualified domain name.
   • Subject Alternative Name: Additional hostnames covered by the certificate.
   • Association date: The date the certificate was associated with the site.
   • Activation date: The beginning of the period within which the certificate is considered valid.
   • Expiration date: The last date the certificate is valid.
   • Updated: The date the certificate was last updated. If it was never updated, the field is blank.
     
     

7. If your site is already published, republish the site to activate the certificate.

Note: Although the certificate is automatically associated with the site when it is uploaded, uploading and associating are two distinct processes. If the certificate is ever unlinked from the site, the upload is not invalidated, and the certificate remains available for linking to a site, and visible on the Associate Certificates page.
