Install SSL certificate

This function installs an SSL certificate.

Note:

Due to their inherent complexities, SSL-related functions often present problems for third-party developers. For the additional steps required to successfully call this function, read our Call UAPI's SSL::install_ssl Function in Custom Code documentation.

Important:

When you disable the Calendars and Contacts, Receive Mail, Web Disk, Webmail, and Web Server roles, the system disables this function.
