+= Adding TLS certificates for authenticating DataVolume imports
+
+TLS certificates for registry or HTTPS endpoints must be added to a ConfigMap 
+in order to import data from these sources. This ConfigMap must be present 
+in the namespace of the destination DataVolume.
+
+Create the ConfigMap by referencing the relative file path for the TLS certificate.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Ensure you are in the correct namespace. The ConfigMap can only be referenced by DataVolumes if it is in the same namespace.
