## Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) [#error-1]

Secure connections are supported and disabled by default. The server initially
ships with a self-signed testing certificate located at `/etc/memgraph/ssl/`.
You can use it by [changing the configuration](https://memgraph.com/docs/database-management/configuration) and passing its path within the
following parameters:

```
--bolt-cert-file=/etc/memgraph/ssl/cert.pem
--bolt-key-file=/etc/memgraph/ssl/key.pem
```

If you are using your own certificate be sure to enter the correct path to the
certificate.

To disable SSL support and use insecure connections to the database erase or
make comments out of both parameters (`--bolt-cert-file` and `--bolt-key-file`)
by adding a hashtag in front of them.
