Configuring a Certificate

Downloading a Certificate

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service.
4. On the Instances page, click the target DB instance. The Basic Information page is displayed.
5. Click next to the SSL field to download the root certificate or certificate bundle.

   Alternatively, choose Connectivity & Security from the navigation pane. In the Connection Information area, click next to the SSL field to download the root certificate or certificate bundle.

   Note

   • Since April 2017, RDS has offered a new root certificate that has a 20-year validation period. The new certificate takes effect after DB instances are rebooted. Replace the old certificate before it expires to improve system security.

     For details, see How Do I Check the Validity Period of the SSL Certificate of My RDS for MySQL Instance?.

   • You can also download the certificate bundle, which contains both the new certificate provided since April 2017 and the old certificate.
