### How to configure mTLS-related fields in metadata
### How to configure MTLS related fields in Metadata
The values for **MTLSRootCA**, **MTLSClientCert** and **MTLSClientKey** can be provided in three ways:
1. Secret store reference
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: <NAME>
spec:
type: bindings.http
version: v1
metadata:
- name: url
value: http://something.com
- name: MTLSRootCA
secretKeyRef:
name: mysecret
key: myrootca
auth:
secretStore: <NAME_OF_SECRET_STORE_COMPONENT>
```
2. Path to the file: The absolute path to the file can be provided as a value for the field.
3. PEM encoded string: The PEM encoded string can also be provided as a value for the field.
- Secret store reference:
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1

```
- Path to the file: the absolute path to the file can be provided as a value for the field.
- PEM encoded string: the PEM-encoded string can also be provided as a value for the field.

Metadata fields **MTLSRootCA**, **MTLSClientCert** and **MTLSClientKey** are used to configure TLS(m) authentication.
To use mTLS authentication, you must provide all three fields. See [mTLS]({{< ref "#using-mtls-or-enabling-client-tls-authentication-along-with-https" >}}) for more details. You can also provide only **MTLSRootCA**, to enable **HTTPS** connection. See [HTTPS]({{< ref "#install-the-ssl-certificate-in-the-sidecar" >}}) section for more details.

The HTTP binding can also be used with HTTPS endpoints by configuring the Dapr sidecar to trust the server's SSL certificate.
1. Update the binding URL to use `https` instead of `http`.
1. Refer [How-To: Install certificates in the Dapr sidecar]({{< ref install-certificates >}}), to install the SSL certificate in the sidecar.

## Using mTLS or enabling client TLS authentication along with HTTPS
You can configure the HTTP binding to use mTLS or client TLS authentication along with HTTPS by providing the `MTLSRootCA`, `MTLSClientCert`, and `MTLSClientKey` metadata fields in the binding component.
These fields can be passed as a file path or as a pem encoded string.
These fields can be passed as a file path or as a pem encoded string:
- If the file path is provided, the file is read and the contents are used.
- If the pem encoded string is provided, the string is used as is.
- If the PEM-encoded string is provided, the string is used as is.
When these fields are configured, the Dapr sidecar uses the provided certificate to authenticate itself with the server during the TLS handshake process.
If the remote server is enforcing TLS renegotiation, you also need to set the metadata field `MTLSRenegotiation`. This field accepts one of following options:
If the remote server is enforcing TLS renegotiation, you also need to set the metadata field `MTLSRenegotiation`. This field accepts one of following options:
- `RenegotiateNever`
- `RenegotiateOnceAsClient`
- `RenegotiateFreelyAsClient`.
- `RenegotiateFreelyAsClient`
For more details see [the Go `RenegotiationSupport` documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/tls#RenegotiationSupport).
### When to use:
You can use this when the server with which the HTTP binding is configured to communicate requires mTLS or client TLS authentication.
