# Auto Generated Config File Guide

{% hint style="danger" %}
Before creating an auto-generated configuration file, the [**provisioning process**](/floating-server/floating-server-v2/configuration-and-provisioning.md) must be completed. Once provisioning is finished, the floating server will appear in the **Floating Servers** list and can then be used to generate the configuration file.
{% endhint %}

To create a configuration file for a floating server, the setup must be completed through the vendor platform. This process ensures that all required parameters are properly captured and reduces the risk of misconfiguration. Follow the steps below to generate the configuration file and download both the **.YAML file** and the **Certificate Chain**.
