 = Creating a secret for the ingress controller certificateSecret
 
 [role="_abstract"]
-To serve a custom default certificate through the ingress controller in {microshift-short}, you can create a TLS secret containing your certificate chain and private key, then set the `certificateSecret` value in the configuration file to that secret name.
+To secure network traffic with your own credentials, you must create a TLS secret and update the configuration file. This process configures a custom default certificate for the {microshift-short} ingress router.

 To integrate ecosystem components that require Ingress resources, configure an Ingress object. {product-title} automatically manages the lifecycle of the corresponding route objects, creating and deleting them to ensure seamless connectivity.
 
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You have a TLS certificate and a matching private key in PEM format for the hostnames listed in the `Ingress` object.
+* If clients must receive a full certificate chain, you must combine the PEM-encoded leaf certificate and intermediates into a single file. Place the leaf certificate first, followed by each issuer in chain order.
+* You confirmed the private key matches the leaf certificate in the `tls.crt` key.
+* You confirmed the `tls.key` key has only the private key for the leaf certificate.
+* The certificate Subject Alternative Name (SAN), or the subject CN if no SAN is present, covers every hostname set in `spec.rules[].host` and `spec.tls[].hosts`. These values must match for the same host.
+* The private key is not password-encrypted. You must decrypt the key before you create the TLS secret so that {product-title} can read the key material.
+* You created a `Secret` of type `kubernetes.io/tls` in the same namespace as the `Ingress`. The `secretName` must match the `spec.tls[].secretName` field. If you have not created the secret, you must do so before you apply the `Ingress` object.

 .Procedure
 
 . Define an Ingress object in the {product-title} console or by entering the `oc create` command:
