# Sharing Connectware Certificates with the Toolkit Container

Connectware components use certificates to authenticate and secure their communication. Mounting the Connectware certs volume into the toolkit container gives the toolkit access to those certificates. This is most commonly used when debugging Connectware components.

## Configuration

How you enable the certs volume depends on how you installed the `connectware-toolkit` chart.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="connectware Helm Chart" %}
When you deploy the toolkit as a subchart of the `connectware` Helm chart, the certs volume is mounted by default once the toolkit is enabled:

{% code title="values.yaml" lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
toolkit:
  enabled: true
  # mountCertsVolume defaults to true
```

{% endcode %}

To opt out of mounting the certs volume, set `toolkit.mountCertsVolume` to `false`:

{% code title="values.yaml" lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
toolkit:
  enabled: true
  mountCertsVolume: false
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="connectware-toolkit Helm Chart" %}
When you deploy the toolkit as a standalone Helm installation, the `connectware-toolkit` chart must be installed in the same namespace as the `connectware` chart. Set `mountCertsVolume: true` to mount the Connectware certs volume:

{% code title="values.yaml" lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
mountCertsVolume: true
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cybus.io/2-4-1/cybus-helm-charts/connectware-toolkit-helm-chart/sharing-connectware-certificates-with-the-toolkit-container.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
