# SSLCertificate

The SSL Certificate file to use to identify this component to a peer. You can specify a single certificate in ASN1 or PEM format, or a chain certificate in PEM format. The chain certificate consists of the end-entity certificate, any intermediate certificates, ending with the root CA certificate.

This parameter requires a matching SSLPrivateKey value. If you use a chain certificate, the SSLPrivateKey refers only to the end-entity certificate.

You can specify the file name with an absolute or relative path to the location of the certificate file.

NOTE: In a unified IDOL Server configuration, Micro Focus recommends that you use absolute paths to specify the location of the certificate file, so that all components can read the same path.

Relative paths are relative to the component executable. If you use a relative path or file name only, you must place the certificate file in the component directory for each component that must use SSL.
