For HTTPS-terminated load balancing, provide base64 encoded conents of a PKCS12 file. The PKCS12 file is the combined TLS certificate, key, and intermediate certificate chain obtained from an external certificate authority. The file can be created via openssl, e.g.'openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey server.key -in server.crt -certfile ca-chain.crt -passout pass: -out server.p12'The key and certificate should be PEM-encoded, and the intermediate certificate chain should be multiple PEM-encoded certs concatenated together example: aGVsbG8sIHRlc3Qgc3RyaW5nCg== examples: - aGVsbG8sIHRlc3Qgc3RyaW5nCg== format: password title: Payload type: string writeOnly: true payload_content_encoding: $ref: '#/components/schemas/PayloadContentEncoding' description: >- The encoding used for the payload to be able to include it in the JSON request.
