Database Autonomy Service:SSL certificate

Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

The Ssl certificate feature in Global Security Management of Database Autonomy Service (DAS) centralizes SSL certificate data from your database instances. By synchronizing and analyzing this information, DAS simplifies certificate management. This topic explains how to use this feature.

Prerequisites

  • The target database instance must be added to DAS.

  • The database instance is one of the following types:

    • ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL

    • PolarDB for MySQL

  • To use the SSL certificate management feature as a RAM user, you must grant the RAM user the AliyunHDMReadOnlyAccess or AliyunHDMFullAccess permission. For more information, see Use DAS as a RAM user.

Note
  • The Global Security Management feature in DAS is in public preview and is free of charge.

  • SSL certificates for proxy endpoints are not included in the statistics.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the DAS console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Security Center > Global Security Management.

  3. On the Global Security Management page, click the SSL certificate tab.

    Note
    • SSL Enabled Instances: The number of connected instances that have SSL enabled, either fully or partially.

    • In the main table, click an instance ID to open the instance's Basic Information page. Click Details to open the SSL management page, where you can modify the instance's SSL settings.

    At the top of the page, use the filter bar to search by instance ID or name. You can also filter by Database type, Region, or SSL certificate status. The main table also includes columns such as Database type, Region, and Status.

    Main table

    SSL Certificate Status

    The overall SSL status of the instance. Valid values: Enabled, Partially Enabled, and Disabled.

    Note
    • Only endpoints that support SSL are included in the statistics.

    • ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances do not support per-endpoint SSL configuration, so individual endpoints do not need to be tracked. The SSL information in the subtable is the same as the SSL information of the instance. Therefore, an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance can only have a status of Enabled or Disabled.

    • For PolarDB for MySQL instances, SSL is supported for three endpoint types: primary endpoint, cluster endpoint, and custom endpoint.

    SSL Certificate Expiration Time

    The earliest expiration date among all SSL certificates on the instance's endpoints.

  4. Click the image icon to the left of a target instance to view its detailed SSL information.

    Subtable

    Endpoint ID

    This field is empty for ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances. For PolarDB for MySQL instances, this field corresponds to the EndpointId field on the Basic Information page in the instance console.

    Endpoint Type

    This field is empty for ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances. For PolarDB for MySQL instances, the options are primary endpoint, cluster endpoint, and custom endpoint.

    SSL-protected Endpoint

    The connection address for the SSL-encrypted endpoint.

    SSL Certificate Status

    The SSL status of the instance endpoint. Valid values: Enabled and Disabled.

    Note

    When the status is Disabled, the SSL-protected Endpoint, SSL Certificate Type, and SSL Certificate Expiration Time fields are empty.

    SSL Certificate Type

    The SSL certificate type for the instance endpoint includes two options: Cloud Certificate and Custom Certificate, which correspond to Use Cloud Certificate and Use Custom Certificate, respectively.

    Note

    PolarDB for MySQL does not support Custom Certificates.

    SSL Certificate Expiration Time

    The expiration date of the SSL certificate for the instance endpoint.

    Note

    SSL certificate expiration dates are displayed in your browser's time zone.

FAQ

Why isn't my newly purchased database instance shown on this page?

  • A database instance appears on this page only after it is fully created.

  • The source or engine of the database instance is not supported.
