Password changes are on a dedicated page, Password (/settings/password).

The preference is saved per user and applied immediately.
Language
Access: Sidebar → Settings → Language (/settings/language)

When you select a language, the page reloads automatically with the translations applied. The preference is saved on the server.
SSL Certificate
Access: Sidebar → Settings → SSL Certificate (/settings/ssl-certificate)
Available only to Platform Admin.
Displays information about the installed SSL certificate:
| Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Subject (CN) | Common name of the certificate |
| Issuer | Issuing authority |
| Self-signed | Indicator of whether the certificate is self-signed |
| Valid from | Validity start date |
| Valid until | Expiration date |
| SHA256 Fingerprint | Certificate fingerprint |
| SANs | Alternative names (DNS and IP) |
Downloading the certificate
The "Download Certificate" button lets you download the .crt file for installation on client devices.
Installation instructions
The page includes step-by-step instructions to install the self-signed certificate on:
- macOS — Keychain Access
- Windows — Computer certificates
- Linux — ca-certificates
- Firefox — Certificate exceptions

On-premises installations use a self-signed certificate by default. Installing the certificate on client devices avoids security warnings in the browser.
