Procedure for Configuring the Certification Authority for Paradigm

This section will guide you through selecting and configuring your Certification Authority (CA) to secure your application with TLS/SSL certificates.

Choice of Certification Authority

• Select the Certification Authority you wish to use for your TLS certificate:
  • Let's Encrypt: For an automated and free solution that provides recognized certificates.
  • Custom: If you wish to use your own Certification Authority or existing certificates.

Configuration with Let's Encrypt

• If you have chosen Let's Encrypt as your Certification Authority:
  • Enter the email associated with your DNS resolver account in the DNS Solver Mail field.
  • Enter the email associated with your Let's Encrypt account in the Certification Authority Mail field.
  • If you are using Cloudflare to manage the DNS for your Kubernetes namespace, enter your Cloudflare API key, which must be encoded in Base64, in the corresponding field.

Custom Configuration

• If you opt for a custom Certification Authority:
  • Provide the TLS certificate (TLS CRT) and the corresponding key (TLS KEY) in the provided fields. Both must be encoded in Base64.
  • You have the option to upload the certificate and key files directly if supported by the interface.

Saving and Applying Settings

• After completing the required fields, verify that all information is correct.
• Save your configuration to apply the Certification Authority settings to your Paradigm cluster.
