When you enable certificate hosting, Alibaba Cloud inherits the deployment settings from your original certificate and automatically creates and starts tasks to deploy future renewal certificates. This page explains how to view, stop, and delete those tasks.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
Certificate hosting enabled for your certificate. For more information, see Enable hosting for a certificate
How deployment tasks are created
Alibaba Cloud creates hosted deployment tasks based on the number of certificates associated with your hosted certificate. For example, if you set Validity Period (Years) to 2 when creating a certificate, Alibaba Cloud generates one associated certificate and automatically creates one hosted deployment task.
View task details
A hosted deployment task inherits its settings from the original certificate's deployment configuration. If you change where the original certificate is deployed, the task scope updates automatically.
Log on to the Certificate Management Service console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Deployment and Resource Management > Hosted Deployment for Cloud Services.
Find the task you want to view, then click Details in the Actions column. The details page shows the task instance ID, contact, certificate resource ID, and certificate type.
Stop a hosted deployment task
Stopping a task prevents the system from automatically deploying the renewal certificate to your cloud services when it is issued.
After you stop a hosted deployment task, the renewal certificate will not be automatically deployed to your cloud services when it is issued.
Both methods below produce the same result. Choose based on where you are in the console.
From the Hosted Deployment for Cloud Services page
Log on to the Certificate Management Service console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Deployment and Resource Management > Hosted Deployment for Cloud Services.
Find the task you want to stop, then click Stop Task in the Actions column.
From the SSL Certificate Management page
Log on to the Certificate Management Service console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Certificate Management > SSL Certificate Management.
Click the tab for the required certificate. Find the task you want to stop, then click Stop Hosted Deployment Task in the Actions column.
Delete a hosted deployment task
When you cancel hosting for a certificate, all related hosted deployment tasks are automatically deleted. To manually delete a task, select it in the task list and click Delete below the task list.
Deleting a hosted deployment task is irreversible. Proceed with caution.
