# MSC1711 Certificates FAQ
## Historical Note
This document was originally written to guide server admins through the upgrade
path towards Synapse 1.0.0. Specifically,
[MSC1711](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/proposals/1711-x509-for-federation.md)
required that all servers present valid TLS certificates on their federation
API. Admins were encouraged to achieve compliance from version 0.99.0 (release
in February 2019) ahead of version 1.0 (released June 2019) enforcing the
certificate checks.
Much of what follows is now outdated since most admins will have already
upgraded, however it may be of use to those with old installs returning to the
project.
If you are setting up a server from scratch you almost certainly should look at
the [installation guide](INSTALL.md) instead.
## Introduction
The goal of Synapse 0.99.0 is to act as a stepping stone to Synapse 1.0.0. It
supports the r0.1 release of the server to server specification, but is
compatible with both the legacy Matrix federation behaviour (pre-r0.1) as well
