Note This process secures all tracker domains you create in the future. If you have existing unsecured domains, you must manually enable SSL certificates for them.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-pardot-264-0-0-production-enus/5fef4d4f-9a34-45c6-8cd3-e3200b9eeba8/images/icon_important.png)

Important Make sure that all your assets and links use HTTPS. When a domain defaults to HTTPS and tries to serve unsecured content, visitors receive security warnings and the page doesn't render correctly.

1. Open the settings for your business unit.
    - In Account Engagement, click ![gear icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-pardot-264-0-0-production-enus/5fef4d4f-9a34-45c6-8cd3-e3200b9eeba8/pardot/images/pardot_settings_icon.png) and then select **Settings**.
    - In the Lightning app, select **Account Engagement Settings**.
2. Select **Create SSL certificate for newly validated tracker domains**.
3. Save your changes.
