  2. In the Certificates menu, click the [Create certificate] button.
  3. Enter the new certificate information in Step 1, then click [Next].
  4. If a certificate for the same domain already exists, a label will appear in Step 2: Review.
  5. Click [Register] to trigger the overwrite confirmation popup.
