You can access the Medianova Cloud Panel by logging in with your username and password at cloud.medianova.com.
Click on the “CDN → SSL Management” option in the left menu of the panel.
The SSL Certificates added to your organization are displayed on this page. If you don’t own an SSL certificate, proceed to Step 5.
To add a new SSL certificate to your organization:
Click on the “Add New SSL” button on the SSL Management page.
Fill in the following fields:
SSL Name: Specifies the name of the SSL certificate for your organization.
Certificate: Upload the CRT file, which enables website verification and secure communication.
Private Key: Upload the private key, which is part of the asymmetric encryption used for SSL. This key must be securely stored and is only available on the web server.
Certificate Password: Enter the password used to protect the private key.
After completing the fields, click the “Add New SSL” button to upload the certificate.
To use the SSL certificate you uploaded or to choose the “Shared SSL” option:
Navigate to the “CDN → CDN Resources” option in the left menu.
Select the specific CDN Resource from the listed resources.
Navigate to the SSL tab:
For Small and Large resource types, this tab is labeled as “CNAME & SSL”.
For Streaming, VOD, and Dynamic resource types, it is labeled as “SSL”.
On the SSL tab:
Choose the “SNI” option to apply the SSL certificate you uploaded.
Or, select the “Shared SSL” option if you don’t own an SSL certificate.
Save your changes.
In the SSL Management menu, you can also perform the following actions:
Edit: Allows you to rename the SSL certificate. Note that no other edits are allowed.
Delete: Prompts a confirmation pop-up before allowing you to delete the certificate.
If your SSL certificate requires a certificate chain (e.g., Intermediate or Root certificates) and you need to complete it:
Use the Certificate Chain Completion Tool available at [link-to-tool]. This tool helps you generate and complete the required chain for your certificate.
After generating the complete chain, upload the updated certificate file using the steps outlined above.
This additional support ensures your SSL configuration is accurate and prevents potential issues caused by incomplete or incorrect chain entries.
For further assistance, please contact your system administrator or Medianova support.
