Certificates that are not autogenerated are optional unless you want to use certain features. For example, you must provide your own `ldap_client` certificate to enable [LDAP authentication]({{<relref "/operate/rs/security/access-control/ldap">}}) or an `mtls_trusted_ca` certificate to enable certificate-based authentication.
