Editor to share with you the detailed steps of the HTTPS certificate application process. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

1. Select the appropriate certificate type

To apply for a HTTPS certificate, you first need to know which HTTPS certificate your website should apply for. General HTTPS certificates are divided into the following categories:

EV certificate: the certificate with the highest security level and the strictest audit level. The corresponding EV certificate is also the most expensive certificate, which is generally applicable to banks, finance, online payment, government enterprises and other websites that need high trust.

OV certificate: the security level is slightly lower than the EV certificate, and the audit is also slightly less stringent than the EV certificate, but the identity of the applicant will also be reviewed in detail to ensure the authenticity of the identity. Generally speaking, the OV certificate is for enterprises to apply for, such as: e-commerce websites, enterprise websites and so on.

DV certificate: only the domain name of the website will be audited, not the identity of the owner of the website, so the DV certificate is the lowest at the security level. Because DV certificates only audit domain names, there will be no manual audit, so the price of DV certificates is much lower than that of EV and OV certificates. Because of the low security level, DV certificate is not recommended for enterprise users. Generally, DV certificate is more suitable for personal websites or test systems.

Wildcard certificate: the domain name protected by the certificate is set in the form of * .domain.com. The general usage scenario is a website with more secondary domain names under the primary domain name. The use of wildcard certificates has a high degree of flexibility, a certificate can be applied to N to secondary domain name websites. Unfortunately, EV certificates cannot support the form of wildcards for the time being. Currently, only OV and DV certificates support wildcards.

According to the actual situation of your website, choosing the right certificate type is the first and important step for you to apply for a HTTPS certificate.

two。 Submit materials for review

Once you have selected the certificate type, you can start applying for HTTPS certificates. Different types of certificates require slightly different audit materials.

EV and OV certificates require you to provide detailed business identity information (such as business license, corporate ID card, company phone number, email address, etc.) due to the need to audit the identity information of the company. DV certificate only needs to verify the domain name, so it only needs to verify the domain name on the Internet, and does not need to submit the enterprise identity information.

Domain name verification is generally divided into DNS verification and file verification.

DNS authentication:

After submitting a HTTPS application, the user will receive a domain name verification Email email with a domain name verification code (code). Users need to log in to your domain name management platform, configure the domain name resolution, and resolve the domain name configured by the code. The following is an example of domain name configuration on Aliyun for users' reference.

File validation:

If you choose file verification, then you will also receive a domain name verification Email email after submitting the HTTPS certificate application, which will also contain the verification code, the difference is that you need to create a txt file in the directory specified in your server, the file contains the verification code on it, the specific operations are as follows.

3. Download and install HTTPS certificates

After the audit is passed, the HTTPS certificate can be issued. Generally, the HTTPS certificate will be sent to you by email. After getting the certificate, you can use the certificate for installation and deployment. How to install and deploy SSL certificate will not be described here. If necessary, you can read the complete book of installation and deployment of SSL certificate. You can also contact us, and our technicians will assist you in the installation and deployment of the certificate according to your server.
