Generating SSL certificates for host-mapped brands

Learn how to generate SSL certificates for host-mapped brands in Zendesk to ensure secure brand protection.

What steps are needed to generate an SSL certificate for host-mapped brands?

When you add a host-mapped brand, you need to regenerate your SSL certificate to ensure the brand is protected. This involves creating a SAN (SubjectAltName) certificate or using a wildcard certificate if your brands share the same domain. You only need to regenerate the certificate once for multiple new brands. For detailed steps, refer to the section on generating an SSL certificate for host-mapped brands.
