Understanding certificate management

The Certificate Manager provides two options for managing SSL certificates for your Media Delivery sites:

  • Upload a Certificate

    Upload a certificate, chain, and private key directly to the CDN, to make it available for linking to a site.

    Upload a Certificate and Private Key{target=_blank}


    - Use a Certificate Template

    Use the Certificate Template feature to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) while keeping private keys secure with no need to share them.

With the Certificate Template feature, you can choose to allow Qwilt to auto-manage the CSR lifecycle using Let's Encrypt, or you can generate and download the CSR to manage the lifecycle yourself using any Certificate Authority (CA).

:::(Info) (Note:)
Your QC User is associated with an organization. When you or any other user within your organization uploads a certificate or creates a template, it is added to a shared pool of certificates and certificate templates available to the users in your organization.
