SSL Name: Specifies the SSL name to be added to the customer organization.

Certificate field: Specifies the extension of the certificate file. The CRT file is uploaded to the web server, allowing the website to be verified and secure communication.

Private Key field: SSL keys are based on asymmetric (public-private) encryption methods. In this method, two keys are used: private key and public key. The private key is a secret key that the website owner must protect and is only stored on the web server. The public key, on the other hand, is a public key and is published by the web server.

Certificate Password: It is a password used to protect the private key.
