Also, note that the certificate has to contain the `Extended Key Usage: TLS Web Client Authentication`. Otherwise, MinIO would not accept the certificate as client certificate.

Now, the STS certificate-based authentication happens in 4 steps:

- Client sends HTTP `POST` request over a TLS connection hitting the MinIO TLS STS API.
- MinIO verifies that the client certificate is valid.

This document explains how to configure MinIO server with TLS certificates on Kubernetes.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [MinIO deployment process on Kubernetes](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/deployments/kubernetes.html).

- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.

```
--sftp="address=:3022"
```

### TLS (FTP)

Unlike SFTP server, FTP server is insecure by default. To operate under TLS mode, you need to provide certificates via

```
--ftp="tls-private-key=path/to/private.key" --ftp="tls-public-cert=path/to/public.crt"
```

> NOTE: if MinIO distributed setup is already configured to run under TLS, FTP will automatically use the relevant
