 You can upload custom root certificates to your private locations to have your API and browser tests perform the SSL handshake using your own `.pem` files.
 
-When spinning up your private location containers, mount the relevant certificate `.pem` files to `/etc/datadog/certs` in the same way you mount your private location configuration file. These certificates are considered trusted CA and are used at test runtime. **Note**: If you combine all your `.pem` files into one file, then the order in which the certificates are placed matters. It is required that the intermediate certificate precedes the root certificate to successfully establish a chain of trust.
