- EXAMPLES
-
To create a certificate using a CSR:
gcloud privateca certificates create frontend-server-tls --issuer-pool=my-pool --issuer-location=us-west1 --csr=./csr.pem --cert-output-file=./cert.pem --validity=P30D
To create a certificate using a client-generated key:
gcloud privateca certificates create frontend-server-tls --issuer-pool=my-pool --issuer-location=us-west1 --generate-key --key-output-file=./key --cert-output-file=./cert.pem --dns-san=www.example.com --use-preset-profile=leaf_server_tls
