+This section describes the optional enterprise functionality that can be enabled via the Dockerfile during `build` time, by setting particular build-arguments (`ARG`) and calling `RUN configure.sh`.  Each of these options trigger the inclusion/exclusion of specific configuration via XML snippets (except for `VERBOSE`), described below:
 
-* `TLS` (`SSL` is deprecated)
-  *  Description: Enable Transport Security in Liberty by adding the `transportSecurity-1.0` feature (includes support for SSL).
-  *  XML Snippet Location:  [keystore.xml](/releases/latest/kernel-slim/helpers/build/configuration_snippets/keystore.xml).
+* `EXCLUDE_CONFIG_SSO_FEATURES`
+  *  Description: When set to `true` the `sso_features.xml` config will be excluded from feature installation (see [SECURITY.md](/SECURITY.md) for usage).
+  *  XML Snippet Location: [sso-features.xml](/releases/latest/kernel-slim/helpers/build/configuration_snippets/sso-features.xml)
 * `HZ_SESSION_CACHE`
   *  Description: Enable the persistence of HTTP sessions using JCache by adding the `sessionCache-1.0` feature.

-  *  Description: When set to `true` it outputs the commands and results to stdout from `configure.sh`. Otherwise, default setting is `false` and `configure.sh` is silenced.
+  *  Description: When set to `true` it outputs the commands and results to stdout from `features.sh` and `configure.sh`. Otherwise, default setting is `false` and `features.sh` and `configure.sh` are silenced.
