The first step in obtaining an SSL certificate to use with Cloud Platform is to generate a Certificate Signing Request, or CSR. The CSR contains information about your organization and website that a Certificate Authority can use to generate the appropriate SSL certificate for your website.
You cannot generate a CSR for an Acquia default domain.
If you already have an SSL certificate, or if you choose to generate a CSR some other way (such as using the command line), you can skip this page. However, only CSRs generated using the Cloud Platform user interface are managed and displayed on the SSL page.
To generate a CSR in the Cloud Platform user interface:
Select your environment and click SSL.
Click Generate CSR.
The Generate certificate signing request page is displayed.
http:// or https:// protocol element. For example, to secure https://www.example.com, enter www.example.com or *.example.com for a wildcard certificatewww.example.net, www.example.org. Adding additional domain names will generate a CSR appropriate for a UCC (Unified Communications Certificate) SSL certificateCloud Platform generates a CSR.
All the CSRs that have been generated for an environment are listed on the SSL page. You need to provide the CSR in encoded format to your SSL certificate vendor in order to obtain an SSL certificate. To get the CSR in encoded format:
For Certificate Request, click Show.
Cloud Platform displays the encoded CSR.
After you generate and copy the CSR, use it to obtain an SSL certificate.
