Connect your SSL.com account to InfraNest by grabbing two credentials from your SSL.com dashboard, then entering them on the connection screen.

## Overview

- InfraNest uses your SSL.com API credentials to manage certificates on your behalf.
- You'll need to copy two values — your **Account key** and **Secret key** — from SSL.com before you can finish connecting.

## Get your keys

1. Sign in to your SSL.com account.
2. Go to **API Credentials**.

3. Copy your **Account key** and **Secret key**. You'll paste both of these into InfraNest in the next step.

> [!NOTE]
> Keep this page open, or paste the keys somewhere safe temporarily — you'll need both values in the next step.

## Next step

1. Go back to InfraNest.
2. Follow the steps to connect SSL.com and enter the **Account key** and **Secret key** you copied.
