# Mongoose SSL guide
SSL is a protocol that makes web communication secure. To enable SSL
in mongoose, 3 steps are required:
in mongoose, 2 steps are required:
1. Valid certificate file must be created
2. `ssl_certificate` options must be set to contain path to the
certificate file.
3. `listening_ports` option must contain a port number with letter `s`
appended to it, which instructs Mongoose to use SSL for all connections
made to that port.
1. Create valid SSL certificate file
2. Append SSL certificate file path to the `listening_ports` option
Below is the `mongoose.conf` file snippet for typical SSL setup:
document_root www_root # Serve files in www_root directory
listening_ports 80r,443s # Redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS
ssl_certificate ssl_cert.pem # Location of certificate file
document_root www_root # Serve files in www_root directory
listening_ports 80,443:cert.pem # Listen on ports 80 and 443
