# Add a custom certificate
|
|
|
|
By default, Zulip generates a signed certificate during the server install
|
|
process. In some cases, a server administrator may choose not to use that
|
|
feature, in which case your Zulip server may be using a self-signed
|
|
certificate. This is most common for Zulip servers not connected to the
|
|
public internet.
|
|
|
|
## Web
|
|
|
|
Most browsers will show a warning if you try to connect to a Zulip server
|
|
with a self-signed certificate.
|
|
|
|
If you are absolutely, 100% sure that the Zulip server you are connecting to
|
|
is supposed to have a self-signed certificate, click through the warnings
|
|
and follow the instructions on-screen.
|
|
|
|
If you are less than 100% sure, contact your server administrator. Accepting
|
|
a malicious self-signed certificate would give a stranger full access to
|
|
your Zulip, including your username and password.
|
|
|
|
## Desktop
|
|
|
|
For safety reasons, we require you to manually enter the certificate details
|
|
before you can connect to your Zulip server. You'll need to get a
|
|
certificate file (should end in `.crt` or `.pem`) from your server
|
|
administrator.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the **gear** (<i class="fa fa-cog"></i>) icon in the lower left corner.
|
|
|
|
2. Select the **Organizations** tab.
|
|
|
|
3. Under **Add Custom Certificates**, enter your organization URL and add
|
|
the custom certificate file (should end in `.crt` or `.pem`).
