The Certbot Cloudflare ini file (typically named `credentials.ini`) stores your Cloudflare API credentials (API key or API token and email address). Certbot uses these credentials to automatically solve the DNS-01 challenge by creating and deleting DNS records on your Cloudflare zone during the SSL certificate issuance or renewal process, automating the verification process.
