After you have enabled the use of the Build Group APIs in the **Coordinator Settings** dialog box, you need to import Incredibuild self-signed certificate to the Coordinator machine. Importing this certificate and trusting it, secures the REST APIs communication over HTTPS protocol. The Incredibuild self-signed certificate, **BuildService.pfx**, is located in the Incredibuild installation directory.

**To import the Incredibuild self-signed certificate:**

1. On the Coordinator machine, in File Explorer, double-click on the **BuildService.pfx** file (located in *install\_dir\Incredibuild*).
