Certificate generated in CloudFlare with a future date error

What is the name of the domain?

jovens-empresarios.com

What is the error message?

Expirado (expirated certificate)

What is the issue you’re encountering

I wanto to active HTTPS in a domain registrated at Cloudflare, and hosted at KingHost.net at Brazil. The generated certificate is in error, as it is coming with the information that it was generated on 08/10/2026 (2026-08-10), one future date.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

remove and create another certificate

Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?

Yes

What is the current SSL/TLS setting?

Full (strict)

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

import the generated certificates at control panel of Kinghost.net

Screenshot of the error

I see a certificate issued by a third-party at the moment:

At this point, is everything working as expected or are you trying to do something?

I configured Cloudflare yesterday with “SSL Flexible”, that’s why you found this certificate now.

The error occurs when I try to import the files generated by Cloudflare into my hosting provider. The provider says that the certificates have the wrong dates (issue dates in the future, as you can see in the screenshots).

Is there a website where I can import Cloudflare certificates and verify that they are correct?

You can examine them in the terminal using openssl.

openssl x509 -text -in certificate.pem|less

Man!!! thank you!!! my certificate are ok: “Not Before: Aug 10 14:26:00 2024 GMT” and “Not After : Aug 10 14:26:00 2027 GMT”. The problem is with the provider that is importing the certificate.
