Certificate selection method in imperva when both custom and imperva certificate is configured .

In some scenario customer might see custom certificate when they access their site, even when the custom certificate is not active for the site .

Reason being the Imperva proxy first checks to see if a custom certificate was uploaded to the specific site. If one is not found, the proxy looks at other sites in the same account.

If the proxy identifies a certificate uploaded to another site in same account that has a SAN corresponding to the site , then that custom certificate is used.

However the above behavior is different for the  websites onboarded to Imperva after October 20, 2021, the proxy now selects a certificate in this order:

  • The website's custom certificate.
  • The Imperva-generated certificate.
  • A custom certificate from another website in any account with a SAN corresponding to the website in question.

 Note : If customer would like  sites onboarded before Oct 20, 2021 to follow the new behaviour,  customer can contact imperva Support to enforce the new behavior
