Issue
-----

You get a 526 error response from Cloudflare, even though Cloudflare has a valid SSL certificate for your site.

**Resolution**
--------------

Go to the sites Cloudfare dashboard, SSL/TSL Overview tab and change the "SSL/TSL encryption mode" from "Full (strict)" to "Full".

Cause
-----

Cloudflare was requiring the cert at the Acquia load balancer to have your domain name and be valid, but the valid \`\*.acquia-sites.com\` cert was not sufficient.
