By default minio is using http. To configure minio to use TLS, you need to create a self signed certificate. Original post is taken from here:- https://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-secure-access-to-minio-server-with-tls.html
But it take me a while to figure out. Therefore, i come out a guide with screenshot.
In our lab scenario, we are using Windows based system.
Let start the configuration
1. Use GnuTLS. Download GNUTLS for Windows from
here.
2. Set the system variable to include the path.[Under environment variable] Example my GNUTLS has extracted to C:\Backup\gnutls-MinGW64.DLLs-gnutls_3_6_4\win64-build\bin
3.Use command line to execute:-
certtool.exe --generate-privkey --outfile private.key
Generating a 3072 bit RSA private key...
private.key is generated.
4. Create a cert.cnf file and put this entry:
# X.509 Certificate options
#
# DN options
# The organization of the subject.
organization = "Example Inc."
# The organizational unit of the subject.
#unit = "sleeping dept."
# The state of the certificate owner.
state = "Example"
# The country of the subject. Two letter code.
country = "EX"
# The common name of the certificate owner.
cn = "Sally Certowner"
# In how many days, counting from today, this certificate will expire.
expiration_days = 365
# X.509 v3 extensions
# DNS name(s) of the server
dns_name = "localhost"
# (Optional) Server IP address
ip_address = "127.0.0.1"
# Whether this certificate will be used for a TLS server
tls_www_server
5. Run
certtool.exe --generate-self-signed --load-privkey private.key --template cert.cnf --outfile public.crt
It will create public.crt
Generating a self signed certificate...

6. Copy private.key and public.crt and put into C:\Users\UserProfileName\.minio\certs
7. Final verification, execute "minio sever C:\Backup\Minio [depend on your folder]
use Minio Client to verify:
