View source for SSL Certificates

TLS/SSL Certificates, also called [[wikipedia:Public_key_certificate|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 add additional trusted root certificates, use one or both of the following options:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
security.pki.certificates = [ "<insert_certificate_text_here>" ];

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

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