# Configure SSL

Please perform these steps only after you have configured the Devolutions Server instance and that you have indeed connected through a client application. Performing these steps right from the start may add a layer of complexity that may prevent you from succeeding in the initial configuration.

### Import Certificate or Create Self-Signed Certificate

1. Select the server node in the Tree View and double-click the ***Server Certificates*** feature in the ***List View***:

2. Click ***Import...*** in the ***Actions*** pane.

### Create a SSL Binding

1. Select the web site in the Tree View. Click ***Bindings...*** in the ***Actions*** pane. This brings up the binding editor that lets you create, edit, and delete bindings for your Web site.
