Generating Certificates

You can use a self-signed certificate generated in Salesforce or a certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA). To generate a certificate for a callout, see Generate a Certificate.

After you successfully save a Salesforce certificate, the certificate and corresponding keys are automatically generated.

After you create a CA-signed certificate, you must upload the signed certificate before you can use it. See “Generate a Certificate Signed by a Certificate Authority” in the Salesforce online help.
