 Note: The certificate in this case must be a `.pfx` file.  Utilizing a `.crt` or `.key` file with or without the password isn't supported with the sample container.  For example, when specifying a `.crt` file, the container may return error messages such as 'The server mode SSL must use a certificate with the associated private key.'. When using [WSL](/windows/wsl/about), validate the mount path to ensure that the certificate loads correctly.
