ConfigMap options
These options can be stored in a ConfigMap to change the ingress controller’s global behavior, affecting all Ingress routes.
How to use the ConfigMap Jump to heading
A ConfigMap is created during the installation and you can find it with the kubectl get configmaps command:

As a consequence, it must be set with a distinct consideration of how the HTTPS port is set on Ingress Controller with the https-bind-portcommand line option.
