Capella Root Certificates
- Capella Operational
- concept
Capella automatically generates a root certificate to allow you to connect to your cluster from an external application. If your application needs to verify your connection to your Capella cluster with a certificate, you must use the root certificate provided in the Capella UI.
Use Your Capella Root Certificate
Capella provides an X.509 formatted root certificate as a .txt
file.
To use the root certificate to connect to your Capella cluster, you must re-save the file as a .pem
or .crt
file, depending on what certificate format your application is expecting.
To download or copy the root certificate from your Capella cluster:
-
From the Operational Clusters page, click the name of the cluster you want to connect to.
-
Go to
. -
Click Download or Copy.
If you’re connecting using one of the Couchbase SDKs, you should not need a certificate for your cluster. Authentication and trust should be automatically handled by the SDK. If you run into issues, you can download the Capella root certificate and add it as a trusted certificate in your application’s trust store.
