View your certificates

Updated at:

View the certificate list, certificate status, and related statistics for your SSL certificates and individual test certificates in the Certificate Management Service console. Use these views to track application progress, issuance status, expiration time, and deployment status.

Certificate Management Service provides two certificate management portals. SSL Certificate Management V2.0 is the default portal and supports all certificate operations. To determine which portal to use, check the left-side navigation pane of the console:

  • If SSL Certificate Management (V1.0 - No New Purchases) does not appear, all your certificates are in SSL Certificate Management V2.0. Use the V2.0 portal.

  • If both portals appear, view your certificates in each portal separately.

    The following table describes the two portals.
