# Replacing the Admin Console SSL Certificate

To avoid seeing a certificate warning when you access PingCentral, replace the user-facing SSL certificate so it will no longer use the self-signed certificate.

## About this task

Import your proprietary certificate into PingCentral by uploading the PKCS12 file that contains it.

## Steps

1. Select the **Security** tab, expand the menu, and select **Server TLS Key Pair**.

   ### Result:

   The **Server TLS Key Pair** page displays information about the key pair, including its status and expiration date.

2. To import a new key pair, click **Import Key Pair**.

3. On the **Import Key Pair** window, click **Choose PKCS12 File** and select the `.p12` file to upload it.

4. In the **File Password** field, enter the password to the keystore file.

5. In the **Alias** field, specify the alias of the certificate in the keystore file that you want to use for the Admin Console SSL Certificate, if required.

   * If the `.p12` file being imported for TLS key pair contains a single alias, PingCentral accepts the file without requiring an alias.

   * If the `.p12` file being imported for TLS key pair contains multiple aliases, PingCentral requires the alias.

6. In the **Key Password** field, enter the password for the selected certificate if the PKCS12 file requires a separate password for the key.

7. Click **Import**.

8. Restart PingCentral.

   ### Result:

   After PingCentral restarts, you will be able to access PingCentral without receiving a certificate warning.
