+==== Use the system trust store ====
+Stages should trust the certificates and CAs in the systems trust store, to be able to access Cloud Services like Sharepoint Online and other systems in a secure manner.
+Windows:
+Please ensure the following properties are configured in ''$STAGES_ROOT\config.bat''
+<code>
+set JAVA_OPTS=[...] -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=Windows-ROOT -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=NUL
+</code>
+This is the default for new installations of 7.9.14.0 and newer.
+Linux:
+Please ensure to use the proper ''update-ca-trust'' or respective script of your distribution, that should ensure to copy the certificates to the system and the JAVA truststore.
