-Redis Enterprise Software uses self-signed certificates by default to ensure that the product is secure. If using a self-signed certificate is not the right solution for you, you can import a certificate signed by a certificate authority of your choice.
+Redis Enterprise Software uses self-signed certificates by default to ensure that the product is secure. These certificates are autogenerated on the first node of each Redis Enterprise Software installation and are copied to all other nodes added to the cluster.
 
-Here's the list of self-signed certificates that create secure, encrypted connections to your Redis Enterprise cluster:
+You can replace a self-signed certificate with one signed by a certificate authority of your choice.
 
-| Certificate name | Description |
-|------------------|-------------|
-| `api` | Encrypts [REST API]({{< relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/" >}}) requests and responses. |
-| `cm` | Secures connections to the Redis Enterprise Cluster Manager UI. |
-| `ldap_client` | Secures connections between LDAP clients and LDAP servers. |
-| `metrics_exporter` | Sends Redis Enterprise metrics to external [monitoring tools]({{< relref "/operate/rs/monitoring/" >}}) over a secure connection. |
-| `proxy` | Creates secure, encrypted connections between clients and databases. |
-| `syncer` | For [Active-Active]({{< relref "/operate/rs/databases/active-active/" >}}) or [Replica Of]({{< relref "/operate/rs/databases/import-export/replica-of/" >}}) databases, encrypts data during the synchronization of participating clusters. |

+Certificates that are not autogenerated are optional unless you want to use certain features. For example, you must provide your own `ldap_client` certificate to enable [LDAP authentication]({{<relref "/operate/rs/security/access-control/ldap">}}) or an `mtls_trusted_ca` certificate to enable certificate-based authentication.
