Add and manage CA and client certificates in the Postman VS Code extension

You can add a custom CA certificate in the Postman VS Code extension to connect to an API that uses a certificate registered with an internal certificate registry. You won't need to turn off SSL verification in your request. You can also add a client certificate to connect to an API that uses Mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication.

Certificates added to Postman are stored locally and aren't synced to the Postman cloud.

Access certificates

To access certificates, do the following:

  1. Click Options icon Views and More Actions at the top of the sidebar.
  2. Select Settings > Certificates.
