Issue certificate

The latest service changes have not yet been reflected in this content. We will update the content as soon as possible. Please refer to the Korean version for information on the latest updates.

Available in Classic and VPC

You can obtain and use SSL/TLS certificates from NAVER Cloud Trust Services, a trusted certificate authority.

Compatibility of issued certificates

Check the operating system and software version in which the certificate issued by NAVER Cloud Trust Services works normally.

• You can check in advance whether the operating system and software you are using are working normally by accessing the test website to which the issued certificate has been applied.
• If the client environment using SSL/TLS communication is an incompatible version or software, NAVER Cloud Trust Services root certificate must be installed in the client environment to enable normal communication. Please see the Certificate Compatibility and Root Certificate installation section for information on how to install the root certificate.

Certificate features

Apply for a certificate

To apply for a certificate, follow these steps:

1. On the NAVER Cloud Platform console, click Services > Security > Certificate Manager in order.
2. Click the Certificate List menu.
3. Click the [Issue certificate] button.
4. When the Issue certificate page appears, proceed with the following steps in order.
   • 1. Enter domain
   • 2. Validation methods
   • 3. Review and request
   • 4. Application completion

1. Enter domain

Enter the certificate name and domain name.

• For Certificate name, enter a name that is different from other certificate names.
• You can enter a minimum of 1 up to a maximum of 10 domain names.
  • Available domain name types
    • FQDN (e.g., www.example.com)
    • Apex domain (e.g., example.com)
    • Wildcard domain (e.g., *.example.com)

2. Validation methods

Select how to validate the ownership of the domain you've applied for. Once you select a validation method at this stage, you cannot change it later.

• Email validation: a validation method that involves entering a validation value in the Certificate Manager console, which is sent to the common system administration address (a reserved email address).
• DNS validation: a validation method checking if you have DNS editing permissions

3. Review and request

Review the certificate information you requested and the validation method.

• If you selected email validation, a validation request email will be sent to the common system administration address. Then, you can view the email address to which the validation request was sent and the status of the validation in the certificate details in the Certificate List.
• If you selected DNS validation, a validation value is generated that you need to enter in the Record Name and Record Value of the DNS CNAME after the application is complete. Then, you can view the generated validation value and validation status in the certificate details in the Certificate List.

4. Application completion

After the application is complete, the certificate status appears as In Progress in the Certificate List.

Conditions for a certificate issuance

If validation is performed and the validation status of all domains applied is successful, the certificate will be issued. If issued successfully, the certificate status appears as Normal, and information such as issuance date, authentication start date, and authentication end date, etc. in the certificate details are updated.

• Validation status
• Validation method

Validation status

Validation status can be viewed in Certificate List > Certificate Details.

Validation method

• If the validation method is email validation, at least 1 email address for each domain should complete a validation request and then the validation for that domain will be successful.
• If the validation method is DNS validation, 1 DNS verification value is generated for each domain.
• After the certificate application is complete, Certificate Manager checks for successful validation repeatedly for 72 hours. If the validation for all domains you applied for is successful, the validation status appears as Successful and the certificate is issued within minutes.
• If the verification is not successful within 72 hours, the certificate status will be Timeout and the certificate can no longer be issued. If the validation status is Timeout, apply for a new certificate.
