Error
Try the suggestions in this Community Tip to help you fix Error 526: Invalid SSL certificate.
Background
Error 526 indicates Cloudflare is unable to successfully validate the SSL certificate on the origin web server and the SSL setting in the Cloudflare SSL/TLS app is set to Full SSL (Strict) for the website. When this happens, you’ll see “Error 526: Invalid SSL certificate”.
Quick Fix Ideas
-
If the origin server is configured to use a self-signed certificate, install a valid certificate on your origin server. To test to see if your origin has a self-signed certificate, run the following cURL command:
curl -svo /dev/null --resolve example.com:443:123.123.123.123 https://example.com/
, replaceexample.com
with your domain name and123.
with your origin IP address. The response from an origin server with a self-signed certificate will contain* SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate
. A self-signed certificate secures the connection between Cloudflare and your origin but will cause a 526 error when you try to connect to the origin directly. -
Check to make sure the certificate hasn’t expired, the certificate isn’t revoked, and that the certificate is signed by a certificate authority such as GlobalSign, Verisign, GeoTrust, Comodo, etc and is not a self-signed SSL certificate. You can also use a free Cloudflare Origin certificate instead.
-
Check to make sure the requested domain name (hostname) is in the certificate’s Common Name or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) configuration. If you added a CNAME record for the hostname on Cloudflare, the Common Name or SAN may also match the CNAME target.
