* If your server is using certificate which is does not have well-known root
CA it the validation chain, you have to add CA certificate manually to prevent
SSL errors.

* If your server checks client certificates, you have to add client certificate
in PEM or DER format and it's private key.

Otherwise, no action is needed.
