 # SecHub Web UI
 
- This Helm chart is used to deploy the SecHub Web UI to a Kubernetes cluster.
\ No newline at end of file
+This Helm chart is used to deploy the SecHub Web UI to a Kubernetes cluster.
+
+## SSL certificates and keys
+
+### Default SSL setup
+The web-ui container image is shipped with initially created self-signed certificates.
+
+### User-provided SSL keystore
+If you want to provide your own officially signed certificates,
+you need to create a pkcs12 keystore with a "-name" attribute (e.g. `sechub-web-ui.example.com`).
+
+#### How to create the .p12 keystore
+Create a private key (`sechub-web-ui.key`), create a certificate signed by a CA of your trust (`sechub-web-ui.cert`).
+```bash
+NAME="sechub-web-ui.example.com"
+openssl pkcs12 -export -in sechub.corpinter.net-full-chain.crt -inkey sechub.corpinter.net_server.key -out ${NAME}.p12 -name ${NAME}
+# Enter pass phrase for private key file
+# Enter Export Password for .p12 keystore
+```
+
+#### Set .p12 and its password as Kubernetes secrets
+A Kubernetes secret `secret-web-ui-ssl` must be defined containing
+- `keystore_file` - Your .p12 keystore file created in the previous step<br>
+  Inside the .p12 keystore, an alias with ${NAME} is expected pointing to the ssl certificate to use
+- `keystore_password` - Export Password for .p12 keystore from above step
+
+#### Update your values.yaml
+Declare ${NAME} as your keystore alias in your Helm values.yaml file.
+
+Example:
+```yaml
+web_ui:
+  ssl:
+    keystoreAlias: "sechub-web-ui.example.com"
+```
+
+#### Deploy
+Now you can deploy using your values.yaml file from above.
+
+Then the SecHub web-ui will use your certificates and key for https encryption.
