Control plane format

The daprsystem configuration file installed with Dapr applies global settings and is only set up when Dapr is deployed to Kubernetes.

metadata:
  name: daprsystem
  namespace: default
spec:
  mtls:
    enabled: true
    allowedClockSkew: 15m
    workloadCertTTL: 24h

Spec fields

Field	Required	Details	Example
mtls	N	Defines the mTLS configuration	allowedClockSkew: 15m workloadCertTTL:24h [Learn more about the mtls configuration.]({{< ref "configuration-overview.md#mtls-mutual-tls" >}})
