# SSLCheckCertificate

Set `SSLCheckCertificate` to `True` to require Confluence REST Connector to request a certificate signed by a trusted authority from connected peers.

When `SSLCheckCertificate` is set to `False`, communications are encrypted, but certificates are not requested from peers.

When you set SSLCACertificate, it implicitly sets `SSLCheckCertificate` to `True`. In this case, you can set `SSLCheckCerticate` to `False` to allow Confluence REST Connector to fill in any chain required for the SSLCertificate by using the certificates that you specify in SSLCACertificate and SSLCACertificatesPath, without requiring a certificate from the connected peer.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | True if SSLCACertificate and SSLCACertificatesPath are set. False if SSLCACertificate and SSLCACertificatesPath are not set.
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | SSLOptionN
Example: | `SSLCheckCertificate=True`
