# Certificates

> How to manage TLS/SSL certificates in CData Arc.

export const siteNameShort = "Arc";

export const siteName = "CData Arc";

The **Certificates** tab displays a sortable table of all certificates that are used and managed by the application. Use this tab as a reference to quickly determine which certificates are in use by which connectors in your flows.

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can add or upload new certificates, edit the names of existing certificates, download certificates, and remove those you no longer need. Click **Add Certificate** to see the options for creating or uploading certificates. To edit, download or delete a certificate, click the ellipses that appear when you hover over a certificate and choose one of the options.

Use the search bar to search in columns such as **Name** or **Serial** to find specific certificates. Hover over a number in the **Associated Resources** column to see the connector Ids of all connectors using a specific certificate. Click a connector Id to go directly to its settings.

All certificates created or uploaded in {siteName} are stored in the `data` directory. Typically, certificates come in public/private pairs with the same filename but different file extensions: `.pfx` for private and `.cer` for public. Certificates in other formats that are uploaded to the application are stored as-is.

{siteNameShort} enumerates the certificates in the `data` directory to determine the options available when configuring a certificate in the UI. Adding a certificate file to the `data` directory accomplishes the same thing as uploading a certificate in the UI.
