 19. If you have custom SSL certificates you want to apply to the image and pack registry, and the Spectro Cloud
-    Repository, copy the custom SSL certificates, in base64 PEM format, to the airgap support VM. The custom
-    certificates must be placed in the **/opt/spectro/ssl** folder. Include the following files:

+    Three items you need to keep in mind when providing custom SSL certificates:
+
+    - The custom SSL certificates must be in base64 PEM format. If you have custom SSL certificates in a different
+      format, convert them to base64 PEM format before copying them to the support VM. The airgap setup process also
+      expects the files to be named **server.crt** and **server.key**.
+
+    - The custom certificate's Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) must match the hostname or IP address you provide for
+      the airgap support VM. Otherwise, the airgap setup process will fail due to a certificate mismatch.
+
+    - The custom SSL certificates must have the following permissions bits set:
+
+      - **server.crt**: 644
+      - **server.key**: 600

+    You also need to update the permissions for the **/data/secret/cert/** directory. This folder is mounted to Harbor
+    during the airgap setup process and must have access to the custom SSL certificates. Use the following command to
+    ensure the permissions are set correctly.
+
+    ```shell
+    chown -R 10000:10000 /data/secret/cert/*

 20. Start the airgap initialization process by issuing the following command. The script requires the hostname or IP
     address of the airgap support VM. Choose the preferred method for your environment. Be aware that the script will
     generate a self-signed certificate for the value you provide.
