Set up SSL for an alias

What is the name of the domain?

website: yakimabranding.com alias: yb.marketing

What is the error message?

Let’s encrypt SSL expiring, site will show as not secure

What is the issue you’re encountering

I do not know how to add the forwarding domain to my SSL Let’s Encrypt certificate

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Working with my host company who is not certain how CF handles this setup

What is the current SSL/TLS setting?

Off

This domain is NOT on Cloudflare, so Cloudflare cannot handle SSL/HTTPS for it.

You need to add the domain to your Cloudflare account first… just as you did for yakimabranding.com… before Cloudflare can manage certificates for the domain.

Then set a redirect from yb.marketing to www.yakimabranding.com (the canonical domain).

In any case, https://yb.marketing already shows ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID because you’re using Cloudflare’s Origin Certificate for a domain that’s not proxied on Cloudflare.
