## Validating DND Resource Provider

While creating or updating a provider, the following validations are performed

- **For HTTPS connection -** Provider URL and SSL Certificate. The certificate should be in PEM format (base64).

On successful validation, the provider is created.  
  
In case of validation failure, the following message is displayed.

**The provider information you have entered couldn't be validated successfully. This is most likely due to an invalid/unreachable URL or an untrusted provider certificate. Continue anyway?**

Select **No** to correct the values. Perform the following corrective steps -  
  
**For HTTPS connection**

- Connect to control plane node and mount <config-volume> NFS volume on any directory (/mnt). Go to directory /mnt/../<config-volume>/certificate/cmp/source. Verify if SSL certificate is available in the directory. The certificate should be in PEM format (base64).
- If SSL certificate isn't present, perform the following steps.
- Obtain the SSL certificate from your provider. Connect to control plane node and copy the provider SSL certificate in the shared folder <config-volume>/certificate/cmp/source.
	- Delete and restart pod using the following commands.
