Managing security certificates

Overview

A CSR is a block of encrypted text that contains information about our customer’s organisation, and will be used by the certificate authority to generate the certificate.

NOTE

Free certificates from Let’s encrypt are automatically generated and added to your domains. Domains with trypl.com have a Let’s encrypt certificate that cannot be changed — hence, the certificate won’t appear in the dashboard, in the Certificates section.

You can also change the certificates by simply selecting another one from each dropdown certificate list, as seen above.

Removing a domain does not remove the associated certificate.
