Database Autonomy Service:SSL certificate

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

The SSL certificate feature in Database Autonomy Service (DAS) gives you a centralized view of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) status and certificate expiration times across your database instances. Instead of checking each instance console individually, use this page to identify instances with SSL disabled or certificates nearing expiration.

The global security management feature is in public preview and is free of charge during the preview period. SSL certificates for proxy endpoints are not displayed.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that:

  • The database instance is connected to DAS

  • The instance type is one of the following:

    • ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL

    • PolarDB for MySQL

  • If you are a RAM user, you have the AliyunHDMReadOnlyAccess or AliyunHDMFullAccess permission. For details, see How do I use DAS as a RAM user?

View SSL certificate status

  1. Log on to the DAS console.

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

  3. Click the SSL Certificate tab. The SSL Enabled Instances counter shows how many instances have SSL fully or partially enabled. The main table shows one row per instance:

    Click an instance ID to open the Basic Information page in the instance console. Click Details to go to the SSL Management page for that instance.
    FieldDescription
    SSL Certificate StatusSSL status of the instance. Values: Enabled, Partially Enabled, or Disabled. See Understanding SSL Certificate Status values for behavior by database type.
    SSL Certificate Expiration TimeThe earliest certificate expiration time across all endpoints of the instance.

  4. To view per-endpoint SSL details, click image to the left of an instance. The subtable shows endpoint-level SSL information:

    FieldDescription
    Endpoint IDThe endpoint identifier. Empty for ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances. For PolarDB for MySQL clusters, matches the EndpointId field on the Basic Information page.
    Endpoint TypeThe endpoint type. Empty for ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances. For PolarDB for MySQL clusters, the value is Primary Endpoint, Cluster Endpoint, or Custom Endpoint.
    SSL-protected EndpointThe endpoint address for which SSL encryption is enabled.
    SSL Certificate StatusSSL status of the endpoint: Enabled or Disabled. If Disabled, the SSL-protected Endpoint, SSL Certificate Type, and SSL Certificate Expiration Time fields are blank.
    SSL Certificate TypeThe certificate type: Custom Certificate or Cloud Certificate. PolarDB for MySQL does not support custom certificates.
    SSL Certificate Expiration TimeThe certificate expiration time, displayed in your browser's time zone.

Understanding SSL Certificate Status values

The page displays only endpoints that support SSL. How SSL Certificate Status behaves differs by database type:

Database typePossible status valuesNotes
ApsaraDB RDS for MySQLEnabled or DisabledSSL applies to the entire instance, not individual endpoints. The SSL information in the subtable is the same as the SSL information of the instance.
PolarDB for MySQLEnabled, Partially Enabled, or DisabledSSL can be enabled per endpoint (primary, cluster, or custom). Partially Enabled means SSL is on for some endpoints but not all.

FAQ

Why is my database instance not showing on this page?

An instance appears on this page only after it finishes creating. If the instance is already running but still missing, its source or engine type is not supported. Only ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL and PolarDB for MySQL instances are displayed.
