Custom SSL Certificates

The EdjPlatform provides the following features for custom domain certificates:

  • Certificate must be valid X.509 Certificate.

  • You can copy and paste the content from the certificate .pem file.

  • You can add multiple custom certificates.

  • A valid custom certificate has an Active status on upload to the EdjPlatform. Once it expires, the status changes to Expired and you need to upload the certificate again.

  • Chains contain all the intermediate certificates up to the root certificate.

  • Private keys contain the secret key of the certificate, which is used by the Web server when it makes an SSL/TLS connection.

A custom certificate is validated based on the following parameters:

  • Common Name - The certificate should be of the same domain or a subdomain of the domain for which you are uploading the certificate.

  • Expiry - The certificate should not be expired.

  • Issuer - The certificate should not be self-signed.

SSL Certificate Chain Order - The EdjPlatform validates the chain of trust starting from the end-user certificate, intermediate certificates, up to the root certificates. Root CAs are a trusted source of certificates.

While validating the chain of trust, the EdjPlatform validates the intermediate certificates as follows:

  • Certificate should not be expired.

  • Root certificate should be one of the certificates mentioned in Included Certificates.
