Universal SSL Status - Authorizing Certificate .. for days

[martin11]

Hi,

I started a paid subscription for a domain of mine, running a Magento shop.
Followed the guide activate WAF for Magento, and setup Page Rules… then turned on SSL in “Flexible” mode. Waited +24 hours, nothing happened. Now changed to “Full” as I think this is correct, and more than 24 hours waiting… nothing going on.

Is there some way to check if something in this proces has stalled?

Rgds, Martin

SSL Certificate Delays - What should I do?

SSL provisioning can sometimes run into unexpected issues/delays. If you aren’t sure how long it should take, or what you can do to fix it, read on! How long should it take for the certificate to be issued? Your can often be issued in 10-15 minutes, but if you are using our FREE SSL feature it can sometimes take up to 24 hours. Please do not post here about delays until it has been “authorizing” for more than a day. How do I get help? If you have waited 24 hours, and there has been no…

Hi @martin11, I suspect it’s a matter of ssl being enabled for a long enough period of time for the process to complete. If you have a certificate on your origin server, Full works. If not, I’d set SSL to flexible and give it the full 24 hours. If you want to multi task and get in the support queue, Login & go to https://dash.cloudflare.com/?account=support, that may be a good precaution, but I suspect you’ll get an automated reply with some tips on SSL and then a bit later an engineer will confirm SSL is working. But, it does not hurt to get in the queue.
