+title: SSL Certificate Validation
+
+## SSL Certificate Validation
+
+When establishing a secure connection to a cloud provider endpoint, Libcloud
+verifies server SSL certificate. By default, Libcloud searches paths listed in
+`libcloud.security.CA_CERTS_PATH` for CA certificate files.
+
+`CA_CERTS_PATH` contains common paths to CA bundle installations on the
+following platforms:
+
+* **openssl** on CentOS / Fedora
+* **ca-certificates** on Debian / Ubuntu / Arch / Gentoo
+* **ca_root_nss** on FreeBSD
+* **curl-ca-bundle** on Mac OS X
+
+If no valid CA certificate files are found, you will see an error message
+similar to the one bellow:
+
+`No CA Certificates were found in CA_CERTS_PATH.`
+
+### Acquiring CA Certificates
+
+If the above packages are unavailable to you, and you don't wish to roll your
+own, the makers of cURL provides an excellent resource, generated from Mozilla:
