# SSL Certificates

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
