+This folder contains self-signed certificates for use in testing. _DO NOT USE THESE
+CERTIFICATES IN PRODUCTION!_
+
+The certificates were generated with the
+https://github.com/onosproject/simulators/blob/master/pkg/certs/generate_certs.sh 
+script as
+```bash
+generate_certs.sh sdcore-adapter
+```
+
+In this folder they **must** be (re)named
+* tls.cacrt
+* tls.crt
+* tls.key
+
+Use
+```bash
+openssl x509 -in deployments/helm/onos-config/files/certs/tls.crt -text -noout
+```
+to verify the contents (especially the subject).
+
+There is another Cert for onos-config in test/certs but these were created with:
+```
+generate-certs.sh onos-config
+```
+and are left named onf.cacrt, onos-config.key and onos-config.crt
