Certificates
On the Certificates page, you can manage and configure various certificates used within your integrations. Certificates are used for secure communications, typically for SSL/TLS encryption, ensuring that data is securely transmitted between systems. This page allows you to upload and configure certificates required for different integration scenarios.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name assigned to the certificate. It is a unique identifier for the certificate within the system. |
| Upload File | The file containing the certificate. This can be a public certificate, a certificate chain, or any other certificate file used for secure communication. Certificates are typically in formats like .pem, .crt, .pfx, or .cer. |
Certificate Entry Types
-
Public Certificate:
- A public certificate is used to verify the authenticity of the sender's public key. It is often part of an SSL/TLS handshake for encrypted communication.
Field Description Certificate Name The name of the public certificate. Certificate File The file containing the public certificate, typically in .pem,.crt, or.cerformats. -
Certificate Chain:
- A certificate chain consists of multiple certificates. It typically includes a server certificate and one or more intermediate certificates that chain back to a trusted root certificate authority (CA). This ensures the authenticity of the certificate.
Field Description Certificate Chain Name The name of the certificate chain. Certificate Chain File The file containing the certificate chain in .pemor.crtformats. -
Uploaded Certificate File:
- If you have a certificate file that is in a custom format or from an external source, you can upload it directly to the system. These could include
.pfxor.p12formats, which often contain both the certificate and its associated private key.
Field Description Uploaded Certificate Name The name of the uploaded certificate. Uploaded Certificate File The file containing the uploaded certificate, which can be in .pfx,.p12,.pem,.crt, or other formats. - If you have a certificate file that is in a custom format or from an external source, you can upload it directly to the system. These could include
Managing Certificates
Clicking the three dots under the "Action" heading offers the following options:
- Where Used: Lists the integrations or flows where the relevant certificate is being used.
- Edit Certificate: Allows changing details of the certificate.
- Delete Certificate: Allows the removal of the certificate.
Example Usage
When setting up secure communication, such as SSL/TLS encryption, you'll need to provide the appropriate certificates for authentication. For example, you might upload a Public Certificate to verify your server's identity or a Certificate Chain to ensure that the entire certificate chain is trusted.
