# How to Set up a Server Certificate (.pfx) File in a New Environment

1. To install an SSL certificate, go to *Program Files > Astera Software > Astera Integration Server 8* and replace the *certificate (.pfx)* file placed in the installation directory with the (.pfx) file provided to you by your SSL certificate provider.
2. After you have replaced the file, open the *certificatesettings.json* file placed in the installation directory and update the new filename and password. The password will be provided to you by the SSL certificate provider.
