+# BMC Certificate management
+
+Certificate management allows to replace the existing certificate and private
+key file with another (possibly certification Authority (CA) signed)
+certificate and private key file. Certificate management allows the user to
+install both the server and client certificates. The REST interface allows to
+update the certificate, using an unencrypted certificate and private key file
+in .pem format, which includes both private key and signed certificate.
+
+### Signed Certificate upload Design flow:
+
+- The REST Server copies the certificate and private key file to a temporary
+  location.
+- REST server should map the URI to the target DBus application (Certs) object.
+  The recommendation for the D-Bus application implementing certificate D-Bus
+  objects is to use the same path structure as the REST endpoint.
+     e.g.:
+         - The URI /xyz/openbmc_project/certs/Server/Https maps to instance
+           of the certificate application handling Https server certificate.
+         - The URI /xyz/openbmc_project/certs/Client/LDAP maps to instance
+           of the certificate application handling LDAP client certificate.
+- REST server should call the install method of the certificate application
+  instance.
+
+### REST interface details:
+
+   ```
+   url: /xyz/openbmc_project/certs/Server/Https
+   Description: Update https server signed certificate and the private key.
+   Method: PUT
+
+   url: /xyz/openbmc_project/certs/Server/Https
+   Description: Delete https server signed certificate and the private key.
+   Method: DELETE
+
+   url: /xyz/openbmc_project/certs/Client/LDAP
+   Description: Update ldap client certificate and the private key.
+   Method: PUT
+
+   url: /xyz/openbmc_project/certs/Client/LDAP
+   Description: Delete ldap client certificate and the private key.
+   Method: DELETE
+
+   Return codes
+
+       200  Success
+       400  Invalid certificate and private key file.
+       405  Method not supported.
+       500  Internal server error
+
+   ```
+
+
+### d-bus interfaces:
+
+#### d-bus interface to install certificate and private Key
+- Certs application must:
+  - validate the certificate and Private key file by checking, if the Private
+    key matches the public key in the certificate file.
+  - copy the certificate and Public Key file to the service specific path
+    based on a configuration file.
+  - Reload the listed service(s) for which the certificate is updated.
+
+#### d-bus interface to Delete certificate and Private Key
+
+- certificate manager should provide interface to delete the existing
+  certificate.
+- Incase of server type certificate deleting a signed certificate will
+  create a new self signed certificate and will install the same.
+
+### Boot process
+-  certificate management instances should be created based on the system
+   configuration.
+
+-  Incase of no Https certificate or invalid Https certificate, certificate
+   manager should update the https certificate with self signed certificate.
