-## SSL support
+## TLS support
 
-Dokku provides easy SSL support from the box. To enable SSL connection to your application, copy the `.crt` and `.key` files into the `/home/dokku/:app/ssl` folder (notice, file names should be `server.crt` and `server.key`, respectively). Redeployment of the application will be needed to apply SSL configuration. Once it is redeployed, the application will be accessible by `https://` (redirection from `http://` is applied as well).
