### Using a custom Certificate Authority (CA) with Access Control
### Using a custom Certificate Authority (CA)
When using certificates issued by a custom CA, Access Control on GitLab Pages may fail to work if the custom CA is not recognized.
When using certificates issued by a custom CA, [Access Control](../../user/project/pages/pages_access_control.md#gitlab-pages-access-control) and
the [online view of HTML job artifacts](../../user/project/pipelines/job_artifacts.md#browsing-artifacts)
will fail to work if the custom CA is not recognized.
This usually results in this error:
`Post /oauth/token: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority`.
For GitLab Pages Access Control with TLS/SSL certs issued by an internal or custom CA:
For installation from source this can be fixed by installing the custom Certificate
Authority (CA) in the system certificate store.
1. Copy the certificate bundle to `/opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/` in `.pem` format.
For Omnibus, normally this would be fixed by [installing a custom CA in GitLab Omnibus](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/ssl.html#install-custom-public-certificates)
but a [bug](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/25411) is currently preventing
that method from working. Use the following workaround:
1. Append your GitLab server TLS/SSL certficate to `/opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem` where `gitlab-domain-example.com` is your GitLab application URL
```bash
printf "\ngitlab-domain-example.com\n===========================\n" | sudo tee --append /opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
echo -n | openssl s_client -connect gitlab-domain-example.com:443 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' | sudo tee --append /opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem

CAUTION: **Caution:**
Some GitLab Omnibus upgrades will revert this workaround and you'll need to apply it again.
