The free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt is connected to the user's site in the FastPanel control panel. To do this, you need to follow a few steps:
- Go to the site card via the left menu or the main page.
- Select the “SSL Certificates” button.
- Click on “New Certificate” in the upper right corner.
- To order a new certificate, on the corresponding page, select “Let’s Encrypt,” then “Standard Certificate,” enter the administrator's email address, and click on “Save.”
- When the certificate is issued after a while, the user will see the corresponding confirmation of the action on the page.
- If you need to force HTTPS redirection, just go to the site card and select “Configure.”
- Go to HTTPS, activate the “Redirect to HTTPS” button, and save the selected option by clicking the corresponding command.
Attention! The SSL certificate is issued only if the domain and aliases are parked to the server. If the domain is redirected to another hosting or server, the certificate creation will be denied, which will be indicated by an error message.
The SSL certificate is issued after a short loading time. Its validity period is 3 months. To maintain its relevance, automatic reissuing will occur through the control panel. The service sslshopper helps in checking the operation of the certificate.
