# cert

The cldkctl registry cert command downloads the SSL/TLS certificate used by the container registry. This certificate is required to securely connect to the registry from external clients.

## Usage

```
cldkctl registry cert [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Ensure you have an existing registry.
2. Use the `--registry` global flag to specify which registry certificate you want to download.
3. Use the `-o` flag to define the output path and filename for the certificate.
4. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
cldkctl --registry <registry_name> registry cert -o <output_path>/<filename>.crt
```

5. Replace `<registry_name>` with the name of your registry, and \<output\_path> with the folder where you want to save the file
