# Validate and test

> Verification steps to confirm Nginx is correctly using HSM-stored TLS credentials for HTTPS.

To verify that the Nginx server is correctly using the new TLS certificate and private key for HTTPS connections, follow the steps below.

## Confirm Nginx TLS configuration

This section uses a Firefox web browser. Using a different browser might require altered actions, but the fundamental steps remain the same.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In Firefox, select **Settings** > **Privacy & Security** > **Certificates** > **View** **Certificates**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select **Your** **Certificates** > **Import** to import the PKCS #12 client certificate (`ssl-client-pkcs12.p12`).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select **Authorities** > **Import** to import the CA certificate (`ssl-ca-cert.pem`).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Browse to the IP address of the Nginx website that runs over HTTPS. If you configured a client certificate in the browser for mutual authentication, you should see a lock icon next to the web address.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    View the certificate that the website served to the browser and confirm that it is the certificate configured in Nginx.
  </Step>
