Certificates Center

It can be used to enable HTTPS on proxy and web services such as SMTP service, Reverse-proxy service, Load-balancer, Proxy service, etc.
The certificate center is designed to store all your certificates. So you can't lose them, and you can exchange certificates between different Artica servers if you're using multiple services.

• Using Web API to manage Certificates
  The latest versions of Artica allow you to use the API engine to view or generate certificates.

• Create a Self-Signed certificate
  This type of certificate can be useful for internal use, such as SSL decryption with proxies or customer certificate verification.

• Create a Server certificat
  You should never use a root certificate for a web server (eg Reverse-proxy domains, Web error service page..).

• Trust store: trusted and rejected certificates
  Remove a Debian root, import your private CA, or reject a compromised intermediate certificate, such as the eMudhra certificates of October 2026.
