# SSL Certificates

How to run Qommentary components with a trusted SSL certificate

During installation, Qommentary generates self-signed certificates applied to each component hosted in IIS.

If you wish to use a trusted SSL certificate instead, you may update the certificate bindings using the IIS Manager.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before proceeding, make sure the SSL certificate is installed on the server where Qommentary is hosted
{% endhint %}

1\. Open **IIS Manager**\
2\. Select **Qommentary Engine** under *Sites*
