SSL Certificates, also called public key certificates, are files that verify the authenticity of a website or other online entity. They contain the public key of the certificate holder and are issued by trusted certificate authorities to enable secure, encrypted communications between clients and servers.

Installation

To install SSL Certificates, use one or both of the following options:

security.pki.certificates = [ "<insert_certificate_text_here>" ];

security.pki.certificateFiles = [ "/path/to/cert1" "/path/to/cert2" ];

The first option is a list of strings, whereas the second is a list of filesystem paths.
