# HTTPS configuration

HTTPS configuration can be set in the Akamas services (UI and Kong) or in the Ingress definition.

## Certificate in the Ingress

Declare the certificate secret by adding a `tls` section to the Ingress definition:

```yaml
ui:
  ingress:
    enabled: true
    className: "<class-name>"    # ingress class name

    hosts:
      - host: "example.company.com"
        paths:
          - path: /
            pathType: Prefix

    tls:
      - secretName: "<secret name>"  # secret name containing the certificate and key data
        hosts:
          - "example.company.com"
```

You can apply the same configuration to the `kong` service to add a certificate to the API Gateway.

For more information regarding the TLS definition refer to the [official documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#tls).

## Certificate in the Akamas services

To add a certificate to both the UI and API Gateway you need to generate the `akamas.key` and `akamas.pem` files, and create a secret in Akamas' namespace with the following command:

```bash
kubectl create secret generic certificate --from-file=akamas.key --from-file=akamas.pem
```

To complete the update, restart the deployments:

```bash
kubectl rollout restart deployment ui kong
```
