# Overview

> Issue, install, renew, and manage SSL certificates and CSRs through cPanel's revamped seven-tab interface.

The SSL/TLS Certificates tool was rebuilt by cPanel into a tabbed interface with seven pages. Same underlying functionality as the old "SSL/TLS Manager" plus a new wizard and a new Requests tab.

Open it from cPanel home → **Security** → **SSL/TLS Certificates**.
