Creating the secret

You can create a TLS Secret object in the openshift-config namespace by using the oc CLI or by applying a YAML file to store client certificates and keys that identity providers require for secure communication.

Procedure

Create a Secret object that contains the key and certificate by running the following command:
```
$ oc create secret tls <secret_name> --key=key.pem --cert=cert.pem -n openshift-config
```

Optional: Apply the following YAML to create the secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: <secret_name>
  namespace: openshift-config
type: kubernetes.io/tls
data:
  tls.crt: <base64_encoded_cert>
  tls.key: <base64_encoded_key>
