Create or Submit a REST---API Response MLE Key {#concept}
=========================================================

Before you can enable your system to support MLE, you must create or upload an *REST---API response MLE* certificate. After creating or uploading the certificate, you can extract the certificate's key to begin enabling MLE.  
Follow these steps to create or submit an API Response MLE certificate using the `Business Center`:

1. Log in to the `Business Center`:

   * **Test:** [`https://businesscentertest.cybersource.com`](https://ebc2test.cybersource.com/ebc2/ "")
   * **Production:** [`https://businesscenter.cybersource.com`](https://ebc2.cybersource.com/ebc2/ "")
   2. On the left navigation panel, choose ![](/content/dam/new-documentation/documentation/en-us/common/images/ebc/ebc-icon-pymt-config.svg/jcr:content/renditions/original) Payment Configuration \> Key Management.
