REST Resource: sslCertificates

Resource: SslCertificate

Represents an SSL Certificate resource.

Google Compute Engine has two SSL Certificate resources:

The sslCertificates are used by:

  • external HTTPS load balancers
  • SSL proxy load balancers

The regionSslCertificates are used by internal HTTPS load balancers.

Optionally, certificate file contents that you upload can contain a set of up to five PEM-encoded certificates. The API call creates an object (sslCertificate) that holds this data. You can use SSL keys and certificates to secure connections to a load balancer. For more information, read Creating and using SSL certificates, SSL certificates quotas and limits, and Troubleshooting SSL certificates.

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
certificate

string

A value read into memory from a certificate file. The certificate file must be in PEM format. The certificate chain must be no greater than 5 certs long. The chain must include at least one intermediate cert.
privateKey

string

A value read into memory from a write-only private key file. The private key file must be in PEM format. For security, only insert requests include this field.
managed

object

Configuration and status of a managed SSL certificate.
managed.domains[]

string

The domains for which a managed SSL certificate will be generated. Currently only single-domain certs are supported.
managed.status

enum

[Output only] Status of the managed certificate resource.
managed.domainStatus

map (key: string, value: enum)

[Output only] Detailed statuses of the domains specified for managed certificate resource.

An object containing a list of "key": value pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }.
selfManaged

object

Configuration and status of a self-managed SSL certificate.
selfManaged.certificate

string

A local certificate file. The certificate must be in PEM format. The certificate chain must be no greater than 5 certs long. The chain must include at least one intermediate cert.
selfManaged.privateKey

string

A write-only private key in PEM format. Only insert requests will include this field.
type

enum

(Optional) Specifies the type of SSL certificate, either "SELF_MANAGED" or "MANAGED". If not specified, the certificate is self-managed and the fields certificate and privateKey are used.
subjectAlternativeNames[]
