 |-----------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|
-| `certificate`  | yes  | Absolute path to the x509 certificate file.           |

+| `certificate`  | no   | Absolute path to the x509 client certificate file. Required for mTLS.  |
+| `key`          | no   | Absolute path to the x509 client private key file. Required for mTLS.  |
 | `rootcas`      | no   | An array of absolute paths to x509 CA files.          |
 
+**Note:** For server-side TLS only (e.g., AWS Elasticache), provide only `rootcas`. For mutual TLS (mTLS), provide both `certificate` and `key` along with optional `rootcas`.
