# Certificates

Some services, like load balancer SSL termination require SSL certificates. To add a new certificate you need to fill in four fields:

* **Name**\
  This is a name you choose to identify the certificate in the interface. It can only contain letters, numbers, periods, and dashes.<br>
* **Certificate**\
  This is the actual SSL public key or certificate file.<br>
* **Private key**\
  This is the secret key associated with the certificate.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Certificate chain** must already be included in the certificate file. This is the full trust chain between the trusted certificate authority’s certificate and your domain’s certificate.
{% endhint %}
