| | 1 | == Using a TLS certificate (using https) for your May First hosted when using the Deflect caching service == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | We recommend enabling Lets Encrypt certificates for your site on both the May First hosting (origin) server and for the Deflect caching (edge) servers. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | You can do this easily by following the 3 steps below. If you are not yet using the Deflect service, jump to step 2 to enable a certificate for your site from the May First control panel before enabling the Deflect service for you site. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | If you have already set up the Deflect service for your site then start from Step 1 and continue. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | === Step 1 === |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * Access the Deflect control panel for your site |
| | 12 | * Navigate to the "HTTPS / TLS" tab |
| | 13 | * Under the "HTTPS / TLS configuration" header enable the option: |
| | 14 | * '''I want to encrypt connections to my website''' |
| | 15 | * Under the "Public TLS Certificates" header enable the option: |
| | 16 | * '''Use a free Let's Encrypt certificate''' |
| | 17 | * Use the '''Save TLS configuration''' button to save your changes |
| | 18 | * In the "HTTPS options" section enable the option: |
| | 19 | * '''Both HTTP and HTTPS''' ''This step is only temporary, we will change this again after making changes in the May First control panel.'' |
| | 20 | * Use the '''Save''' button to save your changes. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | === Step 2 === |
