Hi there, I have some issues on SSL on my domain that I managed in Cloudflare. The main domain ([afnizarnur.com](https://afnizarnur.com/)) SSL certificate is correct, but when I tried to access all of my subdomain for example in [2013.afnizarnur.com](http://2013.afnizarnur.com/) it is showing `SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN`. I suspect it’s because there are no `*.afnizarnur.com` in the Netlify dashboard? How to add it? ![2024-01-17 at 09.33.04](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/4/a/4a999a3678ab3cc4e0f759e968247ccfb7b9e8eb.png) I already tried to set all DNS settings correctly in Cloudflare. My Netlify site is in `afnizarnur.netlify.app`. Thanks! ---

> [@afnizarnur](#): > > I suspect it’s because there are no `*.afnizarnur.com` in the Netlify dashboard? This is an incorrect suspicion. `afnizarnur.com` is configured on `afnizarnur.netlify.app` while `2013.afnizarnur.com` is configured on `2013--afnizarnur.netlify.app`. So the SSL certificate for the `2013` is generated on the custom domain/SSL page for the latter project, not the former. ---

@dig Ah I see got it, but I use SSL certificate that Netlify provide in the dashboard not in Cloudflare. Do you have any suggestion how to fix this? ---

To be clear: `2013--afnizarnur.netlify.app` is using branch deploy in the project of `afnizarnur.netlify.app`. ---

> [@afnizarnur](#): > > I use SSL certificate that Netlify provide in the dashboard not in Cloudflare. Cloudflare has nothing to do with the SSL on your site. You are only using Cloudflare for DNS. > [@afnizarnur](#): > > using branch deploy Branch subdomains are for use with [Netlify DNS](https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/netlify-dns/) as noted in [this documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/multiple-domains/#branch-subdomains). Reading through the follow support guide provides relevant information for your use case > [@\[Support Guide\] How to use Netlify’s branch deploy feature without Netlify DNS](https://answers.netlify.com/t/support-guide-how-to-use-netlify-s-branch-deploy-feature-without-netlify-dns/128/1): > > Last reviewed by Netlify Support Staff: August 2023 So - you’ve discovered the concept of [branch subdomains](https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/multiple-domains/#branch-subdomains) and want to use them!
