Use Free SSL Certificates

Learn how to enable and manage free SSL certificates in the Medianova Control Panel.

Free SSL certificates provide an easy and cost-effective way to secure your CDN Resources without purchasing a commercial SSL. Medianova integrates Let’s Encrypt to automatically issue and renew these certificates through the SSL Management interface.

Free SSL certificates are valid for 90 days and are automatically renewed before expiration.

1

Access the SSL Management

To begin, log in to the Medianova Control Panel and open the SSL Management section.

• Navigate to CDN → SSL Management in the left-hand menu.

• Review your existing SSL certificates.

• Click Add New SSL in the upper-right corner.

2

Select the Free SSL Option

When the dialog appears, choose Free SSL as the certificate type and click Next to continue.

Choose Free SSL when you want to automatically issue and manage a certificate through Medianova’s Let’s Encrypt integration.

3

Fill in Certificate Details

Enter the required information in the form:

Field	Description
SSL Name	A name to identify the certificate in your organization.
Wildcard	(Optional) Enable this option to secure all subdomains under the same domain (e.g., *.example.com).
Domain	Select the domain associated with your CDN Resource.

After filling in the fields, click Add SSL to start the process.

4

Complete Let’s Encrypt Verification

Medianova automatically performs domain verification using Let’s Encrypt.

• Wait for the verification process to complete.

• Once successful, click Confirm to finalize installation.

The new SSL certificate will appear in your SSL Management list and can now be assigned to your CDN Resources.

Domain verification may take up to a few minutes depending on DNS propagation.

If domain ownership cannot be verified, the process will fail. Ensure that your DNS settings are correct and that your domain points to Medianova’s CDN.

5

Assign the SSL to a CDN Resource

After installation, assign the certificate to the desired CDN Resource:

1. Go to CDN → CDN Resources.

2. Open the SSL (or CNAME & SSL) tab.

3. Choose Shared SSL to apply the Free SSL certificate.

4. Click Save.

You can verify activation by opening your domain in a browser using https://. The lock icon indicates a valid SSL connection.
