For example, if your proxy certificate is signed for `*.elastic-cloud-enterprise.example.com` and you have a wildcard DNS register pointing `*.elastic-cloud-enterprise.example.com` to your load balancer, you should configure `elastic-cloud-enterprise.example.com` as the **deployment domain name** in Platform → Settings.

During installation, the system generates secrets that are placed into the `/mnt/data/elastic/bootstrap-state/bootstrap-secrets.json` secrets file, unless you passed in a different path with the --host-storage-path parameter. Keep the information in the `bootstrap-secrets.json` file secure by removing it from its default location and placing it into a secure storage location.
