Overview
A temporary SSL certificate is a self-signed certificate that the DreamHost panel's Secure Certificates page displays for a domain that already has a self-signed certificate applied. You cannot create a temporary certificate directly in the panel; existing self-signed certificates keep working, but the panel now labels them as Temporary.
Why do I see a temporary SSL certificate in my panel?
A temporary SSL certificate is simply a Self-Signed certificate. You cannot create these in the panel. However, you will see them displayed in a specific instance described in the following section.
Self-Signed certificates
If you added a Self-Signed certificate to your domain in the past, it will continue to function. However, the Secure Certificates page now displays it as a Temporary certificate.
