This guide is going to explain the steps if you have your DNS Domain Certificate with GoDaddy and you want to use it for Okteto.

**Get your Certificate Files**

First thing to do is to get your certificate files from GoDaddy. To do that:

- Go to [www.godaddy.com](http://www.godaddy.com) page and click `My Products`
- Then scroll down to `SSL Certificates` → `Manage`
- Download your files (You may need to click `Rekey & Manage` first)

**Now we got our files downloaded**

GoDaddy downloads 3 files:

1. Certificate itself: xxxxxx.cert
2. The intermediary bundle: gd\_bundle-xxxx.crt
3. And the private key: xxxx.key

Create file for k8s secret. The secret is going to need the concatenation of the certificate and the bundle file:

```auto
cat xx.crt gd_bundle-xxxx.cert > result.crt 

```

**Create k8s secret**

Now we add the certificate and the key to a secret:

```auto
kubectl create secret tls ${SECRET_NAME} --key xxxx.key --cert result.crt --namespace okteto

```

**Okteto Configuration**

Let’s tell **Okteto** to use our new _certificate tls secret_!

- config.yaml:

```auto
subdomain: foo.example.com
wildcardCertificate:
  create: false
  name: ${SECRET_NAME}

ingress-nginx:
  controller:
    extraArgs:
      default-ssl-certificate: okteto/${SECRET_NAME}

```

We are now ready to test our secured Dev Environment:

```auto
https://okteto.foo.example.com/

```
