Hope everyone is safe and sound!
I need your help, folks. I got stuck here. Man, I can’t make it right.
So, can anyone tell me how I can get Edge Certificate for
1 Year?
You see, I already have 1 Year Validity Period Universal Certificate for this particular domain that I have on Cloudflare for like 7 Years now but… when I’m tryna Add a new site, I’m getting 3 Months validity period Let’s Encrypt SSL only. And it’s driving me nuts. Because some Chrome Browsers fail to load site with “https” that has 3 months validity period Let’s Encrypt SSL.
Man, I ain’t kidding about this. It’s a big deal now. And I gotta fix it ASAP.
So, can anyone help me out, please?
Cloudflare is in the process of phasing out DigiCert and hence also phasing out 1-year certificates
As of yesterday I was still able to toggle the issuer of Universal SSL for my domains to DigiCert using the API, however, this probably won’t work for much longer. Meaning even if you do this you’ll likely get switched back to LetsEncrypt next time the certificate needs to renew.
That I don’t know actually. But when there’s a 3 Months Let’s Encrypt… Chrome is Failing.
That’s why I need 1 Year validity period Edge Certificate like my previous one.
Please lemme know if you know the process.
Thanks!
Oh dear! That’s gonna be a problem then. Cuz I noticed a lotta Chrome browsers fail to load https when there’s 3 months validity period SSL.
And this ain’t just happening with Let’s Encrypt SSL but with some other SSL as well when there’s 3 Months validity.
It’s really confusing. Cuz Chrome ain’t working but Firefox works just fine.
Do you have any idea buddy, like why it’s happening with Chrome?
That’s actually not a Cloudflare issue. You are running Windows 7 and Microsoft is not updating the root certificates any more, hence you are running into that issue
You can either update the root certificates manually or use a different browser which does not use the system certificates.
Overall this is not a Cloudflare issue and you will have that on all sites using Let’s Encrypt. On Cloudflare you could only switch to Digicert. Problem with installing full CloudFlare SSL has more on that.
But again, you will have that issues across all Let’s Encrypt sites, so you either manually update the certificates or switch to a supported operating system.
There’s a Google option on the undocumented ssl/universal/settings API endpoint as well, however when I messed around with it yesterday it didn’t seem to work properly. It looked okay in the dashboard & I got notification e-mails saying it was deployed successfully, but browsers kept seeing the old Digicert certificate even hours later so I switched it back. Plus it looked like it was a 3-month certificate anyway, same as LetsEncrypt.
