+### Security
+
+The Schema Registry container can be setup to serve clients securely via TLS. To do so, specify the listener protocol as **https** in the `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS` environment variable (e.g. SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS=`http://0.0.0.0:8081`,`https://0.0.0.0:8082`).
+
+The keystore and trustore **must** be mounted in the `/opt/bitnami/schema-registry/certs` directory as `ssl.keystore.jks` and `ssl.truststore.jks` respectively. Currently, only JKS formats are supported. Note that the environment variables `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_KEYSTORE_LOCATION` or `SCHEMA_REGISTRY_SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION` **will not** override the expected location or file names. Please follow the instructions provided or you will get this error at startup: *ERROR ==> In order to configure HTTPS access, you must mount your ssl.keystore.jks (and optionally the ssl.truststore.jks) to the /opt/bitnami/schema-registry/certs directory*.
+
+Here is a `docker-compose.yml` example that exposes a TLS listener on port `8082`:
+
+``` yaml
+schema-registry:
+  image: bitnami/schema-registry
+  ports:
+    - "8081:8081"
+    - "8082:8082"
+  depends_on:
