Create a certificate signing request (CSR) for each node:
#### Create CSR and Certificate <a id="distributed-monitoring-advanced-hints-certificates-manual-create"></a>
Create a certificate signing request (CSR) for the local instance:
```
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# icinga2 pki new-cert --cn icinga2-master1.localdomain \
--key icinga2-master1.localdomain.key \
--csr icinga2-master1.localdomain.csr
```
Sign the CSR with the previously created CA:
```
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# icinga2 pki sign-csr --csr icinga2-master1.localdomain.csr --cert icinga2-master1.localdomain
```
Repeat the steps for all instances in your setup.
> **Note**

> The certificate location changed in v2.8 to `/var/lib/icinga2/certs`. Please read the [upgrading chapter](16-upgrading-icinga-2.md#upgrading-to-2-8-certificate-paths)
> for more details.
#### Copy Certificates <a id="distributed-monitoring-advanced-hints-certificates-manual-copy"></a>
Copy the host's certificate files and the public CA certificate to `/var/lib/icinga2/certs`:
```
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# mkdir -p /var/lib/icinga2/certs
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# cp icinga2-master1.localdomain.{crt,key} /var/lib/icinga2/certs
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# cp /var/lib/icinga2/ca/ca.crt /var/lib/icinga2/certs
```
Ensure that proper permissions are set (replace `icinga` with the Icinga 2 daemon user):
```
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# chown -R icinga:icinga /var/lib/icinga2/certs
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# chmod 600 /var/lib/icinga2/certs/*.key
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /root]# chmod 644 /var/lib/icinga2/certs/*.crt
```
The CA public and private key are stored in the `/var/lib/icinga2/ca` directory. Keep this path secure and include
it in your backups.
