SSL Certificates

Last modified: 18 February 2025

YouTrack lets you import a trusted SSL certificate from an external service. These certificates identify the external service as a trusted source and let you establish a secure connection between YouTrack and the third-party server.

You can also import a keystore to YouTrack. The keystore identifies YouTrack as a client when it tries to connect to a third party. Keystores are managed on a separate page in YouTrack. For more information, see SSL Keys.

When you integrate other applications with your YouTrack server over SSL, you need to import the SSL certificates that verify the identity of the connected service. Trusted SSL certificates are commonly used for the following features:

  • When you enable SMTP notifications or set up a mailbox integration using a secure mail server, you may need to import the certificate for your mail server. When a certificate is signed by a well-known authority, the public key and certificate are already stored in the web browser. If the certificate for your mail server is self-signed, you need to import the certificate and public key to establish a secure connection.

  • If you connect to a self-hosted VCS server, you need to import the certificate for the private VCS server.

  • If you enable a GitHub auth module or an LDAP auth module over SSL, you need to import the certificate for your authentication server.

To access trusted certificates that have been imported to your YouTrack server, open the Administration menu and select Server Settings > SSL Certificates.
