# Manage certificates

Note

This feature is available in [Lite](../Lite-Edition/),
[Enterprise](../Enterprise-Edition/), [Ultimate](../Ultimate-Edition/) and
[Team](https://dbeaver.com/docs/team-edition/) editions only.

You can manage trust store settings in DBeaver to enable secured driver
downloads and establish SSL connections. This is achieved by selecting one of
the available trust stores and, if needed, adding or removing certificates
from the **Custom Truststore**. Certificates are integral to establishing
secure connections, allowing necessary driver files to be downloaded, and
enabling SSL connections to databases. Without the appropriate certificates,
you might encounter an error message.

## Certificates trust store¶

You can configure which trust store DBeaver uses to validate SSL certificates.

### Java truststore¶

The **Java Truststore** is available on all platforms and contains the default
Java certificates. You can view certificates stored here, but you canât
modify them directly. The app uses a local copy derived from the Java store
together with auto-imported certificates.

### Keychain truststore¶

On macOS, you can use the **Keychain Truststore**. This option relies on
certificates stored in the system Keychain, and in the app it appears as a
read-only view. The app builds a local copy for use, combining Keychain with
default Java certificates and auto-imported certificates.

Note

You cannot add or remove certificates directly in DBeaver when using the
Keychain Truststore. Certificate management must be done in the [macOS
Keychain](https://support.apple.com/guide/keychain-access/welcome/mac) app.

### Windows truststores¶

On Windows, two trust stores are available. Both appear in the UI, are read-
only in DBeaver, and are used via a local copy built by the app together with
default Java certificates and auto-imported certificates.

#### Windows root truststore¶

The **Windows Root** Truststore is machine-wide. Certificates added by an
administrator at the OS level apply to all users on the machine.

#### Windows my user truststore¶

The **Windows My** Truststore contains certificates for the current user. It
includes the machine root certificates per Windows behavior.

Note

You cannot import any certificates into Windows trust stores from DBeaver.
Manage them in Windows.

### Custom truststore¶

Use the **Custom Truststore** to import and manage certificates inside
DBeaver.

#### Import certificates¶

  1. Navigate to **Windows** -> **Preferences** -> **General** -> **Security** -> **Certificates Trust Store** and click the **Import** button.

  2. Browse your file system, locate the certificate file (`.cer` or `.crt`), and select it.

![](../images/ug/truststore/Custom-truststore-certificate-import.png)

  3. Assign an alias to the certificate and click **OK**.

![](../images/ug/truststore/Custom-truststore-preferences.png)

  4. After applying changes to the trust store and clicking **Apply and Close** , DBeaver prompts a dialog suggesting a restart for the trust store changes to take effect.

Once a certificate is added to the trust store, it enables secure connections
and authentication. You can verify the validity of a certificate based on its
expiration date.

#### Viewing and deleting certificates¶

In the **Custom Truststore** section, select the certificate and click the
**View** button to see details. To remove a certificate, select it and click
the **Delete** button.

### Extended cloud certificates¶

Some cloud databases and services, like AWS, require additional certificate
authorities (CAs) to work correctly.

To trust these cloud provider certificates automatically, enable **Load
extended cloud certificates** in Certificates Trust Store settings.
