ZStack Cloud allows you to configure and manage SSL certificate. After successfully configuring the SSL certificate, you can log in to the UI via HTTPS protocol. The HTTPS protocol ensures that data transmission is effectively encrypted for the Cloud.

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Setting > System and Security > Certificate Management. On the Certificate Management page, click Add Certificate. The Add Certificate page appears.

Add a Third-Party Certificate

On the displayed page, set the following parameters:

• Import Mode: Select Third-Party Certificate.

  Note:

  • The imported certificate must be in CTR or PEM format.
