This guide explains how to install an SSL certificate on the Medianova client panel, either by using your own SSL certificate or activating a free SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.
SSL Name
The name assigned to the certificate within your organization.
Domain Name
The domain (or wildcard domain) that the certificate will secure.
Certificate (.crt)
Upload the public certificate file (CRT). This authenticates the domain and enables secure HTTPS communication.
Private Key
The private key used in the SSL encryption process. It must match the certificate and be kept secure.
Certificate Password
If using a .pfx or encrypted private key, provide the password here. Leave blank if not applicable.
PFX Certificate
A .pfx file that includes the certificate, private key, and chain in one bundle. Used instead of separate files.
You can access the Medianova Cloud Panel by logging in with your username and password at .
Click on the "CDN → SSL Management" option on the left menu. SSL certificates added to your organization will be listed on this page. If you don’t own an SSL certificate, proceed directly to Step 2.5.
To add a new SSL certificate to your organization, click the "Add New SSL" button located at the top right of the SSL Management page.
You will then see a screen that allows you to select how you want to upload your SSL:
You can choose one of the following methods:
Extract from Domain: Automatically retrieve the certificate if it's already active on your domain.
Paste Certificate Content: Manually paste the CRT and private key.
Upload Files Individually: Upload .crt and .key files directly.
Upload a .pfx Bundle: Upload a single PFX file that contains the certificate, key, and chain.
To use the SSL certificate you uploaded for one of your CDN Resources or choose the “Shared SSL” option, please click on the “CDN → CDN Resources” option on the left menu of the panel. Press on the specific CDN Resource among the listed ones and navigate to the SSL tab. (This tab is named as “CNAME & SSL” for Small and Large resource types, whereas it is named as “SSL” for Streaming, VOD and Dynamic resource types.
On this SSL tab, you can either select the “SNI” option and apply the SSL certificate you uploaded to your selected CDN Resource; or you can choose the “Shared SSL” option if you don’t own an SSL certificate yourself. Select the preferred option and save changes.
When selecting Own SSL, you will be presented with several options for uploading your certificate:
Attempts to pull the certificate from your domain if it's already serving SSL.
Paste your domain certificate, intermediate CA bundle, and private key.
Upload .crt and .key files separately.
.pfx (PKCS#12) FileUpload a bundled certificate that includes the key and full chain.
From the SSL Management page, you can:
Edit SSL Name: Rename the SSL certificate using the dedicated option shown in the edit pop-up window.
Replace with New SSL: Replace an existing certificate entirely with a new one.
Delete: Remove a certificate from your organization after confirmation.
When uploading your own SSL, you must:
Upload the full chain (Leaf + Intermediate [+ Root])
Or just the leaf certificate — the system will try to complete the chain automatically
