#. Take note of the certificate ARN, as it will be required later.
#. Download the `Amazon Root CA 1`_ PEM file as :file:`ca-cert.pem`.
If the file is saved as :file:`.txt` file, you need to rename it back to a :file:`.pem` file.
#. Place the PEM files into the folder path specified by the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MQTT_HELPER_CERTIFICATES_FOLDER` option, default is :file:`<app_src_dir>/certs/`.
Ensure that the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MQTT_HELPER_PROVISION_CERTIFICATES` option is set.

It is not necessary to set the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MQTT_HELPER_CERTIFICATES_FOLDER` Kconfig option if the file is placed in a folder named :file:`certs` under the application source directory.

#. If the files are placed correctly, the :ref:`lib_mqtt_helper` library finds the certificates and provisions them to the Mbed TLS stack when connecting to AWS IoT.
