Add a self-managed SSL certificate to a hostname for a zone, validate it, and map DNS so the hostname's traffic routes to its zone. You upload and renew self-managed certificates yourself.
Note Self-managed SSL certificates aren't available on SCAPI zones. Salesforce manages the
SCAPI hostname and certificates. See SCAPI
Zone Support for B2C Commerce.
