+When Alpine is built to support secure connections to remote servers, a directory
+must be reserved in the system to store certificates that will be used to validate
+remote servers. This is normally configured at the time that Alpine is built, but
+there might be circumstances under which a user might want to use a different
+directory. For example, the directory might not be accessible, or has not been
+updated and contains old certificates that have expired.
+
+<P>
+When a user wants to override the default, this variable can be used to list
+the directory where such certificates can be found. Alpine will use the first
+directory in this list that exists in your system and can be accessed. This
+allows for users to be able to use the same pinerc file in different systems.
+
+<P>
+Example of values for this option might be:
+
+<PRE>
+System Certs Path = /etc/ssl/certs
+ /usr/local/ssl/certs
+ C:\\libressl\\ssl\\certs
+<PRE>
+
+<P>
+In unix systems, the default location of the certificates for openssl can
+be obtained by first executing the command
+
+<PRE>openssl version -d</PRE>
+
+and adding &quot;/certs&quot; to that value. In Windows the default location
+for the certificates is C:\\libressl\\ssl\\certs. This value was set by LibreSSL
+developers, and this option can be used to override this default.
