# SSLCACertificate

The Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file of a trusted authority. The component trusts communication only with a peer that provides a certificate signed by the specified CAs.

You can specify the path to a file containing multiple CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain certificates identified by sequences like the following example:

    ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
    ... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
    ----END CERTIFICATE----

You can insert text before, between, and after the certificates to be used as descriptions of the certificates.

When you set `SSLCACertificate`, it implicitly sets SSLCheckCertificate to `True`. In this case, you can set SSLCheckCertificate to `False` to allow IBM Seedlist Connector the component to fill in any chain required for the SSLCertificate by using the certificates that you specify in `SSLCACertificate`, without requiring a certificate from the connected peer.
