# Managing Certificates

**Flumotion Smart Multi CDN** enables you to manage all your CDN certificates in one place. You configure your certificate once, and Flumotion Smart Multi CDN takes care of the rest.

There are three main options for managing certificates:

- [Creating a Certificate](https://www.flumotion.com/docs/multiCDN/creating-a-certificate/) – **Flumotion Smart Multi CDN** will create the certificate for you and ensure that it is automatically renewed when needed.
- [Uploading a Certificate](https://www.flumotion.com/docs/multiCDN/uploading-a-certificate/) – You can use your own certificate, and **Flumotion Smart Multi CDN** will ensure that it is deployed across all of your CDN accounts.
- **Using external certificates** – You can deploy the certificates to the CDNs yourself, and **Flumotion Smart Multi CDN** will use them in your services. To use external certificates, contact [support@flumotion.com](mailto:support@flumotion.com) 

### Prerequisites
