# How to secure access to MinIO server with TLS [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

This guide explains how to configure MinIO Server with TLS certificates on Linux and Windows platforms.

1. [Install MinIO Server](#install-minio-server)
2. [Use an Existing Key and Certificate with MinIO](#use-an-existing-key-and-certificate-with-minio)

 * Peer certificate chain:
 *     sha256/afwiKY3RxoMmLkuRW1l7QsPZTJPwDS2pdDROQjXw8ig=: CN=publicobject.com, OU=PositiveSSL
 *     sha256/klO23nT2ehFDXCfx3eHTDRESMz3asj1muO+4aIdjiuY=: CN=COMODO RSA Secure Server CA
 *     sha256/grX4Ta9HpZx6tSHkmCrvpApTQGo67CYDnvprLg5yRME=: CN=COMODO RSA Certification Authority
 *     sha256/lCppFqbkrlJ3EcVFAkeip0+44VaoJUymbnOaEUk7tEU=: CN=AddTrust External CA Root

- **Crypto & Security** (`org.codelibs.core.crypto`, `org.codelibs.core.security`) - Basic cryptographic utilities, message digest operations, and secure random generation
- **XML Processing** (`org.codelibs.core.xml`) - XML DOM utilities, SAX parser helpers, and schema validation support

 * host platform (like Android). In July 2018 Android had 134 trusted root certificates for its HTTP
 * clients to trust.
 *
 * For example, in order to establish a secure connection to `https://www.squareup.com/`,
 * these three certificates are used.
 *
 * ```
 * www.squareup.com certificate:
 *
 * Common Name: www.squareup.com

 *      * secure connect ([secureConnectStart], [secureConnectEnd])
