# Certificates

The Parallels RAS Management Portal includes a certificate management interface that allows you to manage all of your SSL certificates in one place.

Certificates are managed on a Site level. Once a certificate is added to a Site, it can be used with any RAS Secure Gateway or HALB that also exist in this Site.

To manage certificates, navigate to **Infrastructure** > **Certificates**. The **Certificates** list displays existing certificates. When you install Parallels RAS, the \<Default> self-signed certificate is created automatically, so you will see at least this certificate in the list. The default certificate is also automatically assigned to all new RAS Secure Gateways and HALB.

The subsequent sections describe certificate management tasks in detail and provide additional certificate information and instructions.
