A certificate map references one or more certificate map entries that assign specific certificates to specific hostnames. This page describes how to create and manage certificate maps.
For more information, see Certificate maps .
Create a certificate map
You can create a certificate map to refer to the certificate map entry associated with your certificate.
Console
-
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Certificate Managerpage and then click the Certificate mapstab.
-
Click Create certificate map.
-
In the Namefield, enter a name for the certificate map, such as
cert-map-8. -
In the Descriptionfield, enter a description for the certificate map, such as
My new certificate map. -
To create a certificate map entry and add it to your certificate map, click Add map entryand follow the steps mentioned in the subsequent section.
-
To add a label and associate it with the certificate map, click Add labeland then enter a key and a value for your label.
-
Click Create.
gcloud
To create a certificate map, use the gcloud certificate-manager maps create
command
:
gcloud certificate-manager maps create CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME
Replace the following:
-
CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME: name of the certificate map
API
To create a certificate map, make a POST
request to the certificateMaps.create
method
:
POST /v1/projects/ PROJECT_ID /locations/global/certificateMaps?certificate_map_id= CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME
Replace the following:
-
PROJECT_ID: ID of your Google Cloud project -
CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME: name of the certificate map
Terraform
To create a certificate map, use a google_certificate_manager_certificate_map
resource
:
To learn how to apply or remove a Terraform configuration, see Basic Terraform commands .
Attach a certificate map to a proxy
After creating and configuring a certificate map with certificate map entries , attach the certificate map to the target proxy. Certificate Manager supports both target HTTPS and target SSL proxies with global scope. For more information about the differences between these proxy types, see Use target proxies .
If you attach a TLS (SSL) certificate to the target proxy and also attach certificates through a certificate map, the proxy uses the certificates referenced in the certificate map and ignores the directly attached certificate.
gcloud
To attach the certificate map to the target HTTPS proxy, use the gcloud compute target-https-proxies update
command
:
gcloud compute target-https-proxies update PROXY_NAME \ --certificate-map=" CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME "
To attach the certificate map to the target SSL proxy, use the gcloud compute target-ssl-proxies update
command
:
gcloud compute target-ssl-proxies update PROXY_NAME \ --certificate-map=" CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME "
Replace the following:
-
PROXY_NAME: name of the target proxy -
CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME: name of the certificate map that contains the map entries that reference the target certificates
API
To attach the certificate map to the target HTTPS proxy, make a POST
request to the targetHttpsProxies
method
:
POST /projects/ PROJECT_ID /global/targetHttpsProxies/ PROXY_NAME /setCertificateMap { certificateMap: "//certificatemanager.googleapis.com/projects/ PROJECT_ID /locations/global/certificateMaps/ CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME ", }
To attach the certificate map to the target SSL proxy, make a POST
request
to the targetSslProxies
method
:
POST /projects/ PROJECT_ID /global/targetSslProxies/ PROXY_NAME /setCertificateMap { certificateMap: "//certificatemanager.googleapis.com/projects/ PROJECT_ID /locations/global/certificateMaps/ CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME ", }
Replace the following:
-
PROJECT_ID: ID of your Google Cloud project -
PROXY_NAME: name of the target proxy -
CERTIFICATE_MAP_NAME: name of the certificate map that contains the map entries that reference the target certificates
Detach a certificate map from a proxy
Before detaching a certificate map from a proxy, note the following:
-
If any TLS (SSL) certificates are attached directly to the proxy, detaching the certificate map causes the proxy to resume using them.
-
If no TLS (SSL) certificates are attached directly to the proxy, a certificate map can't be detached. Attach at least one TLS certificate directly to the proxy before detaching the certificate map.
gcloud
To detach any attached certificate map from the target HTTPS proxy, use the gcloud compute target-https-proxies update
command
:
gcloud compute target-https-proxies update PROXY_NAME \ --clear-certificate-map
To detach any attached certificate map from the target SSL proxy, use the gcloud compute target-ssl-proxies update
command
:
gcloud compute target-ssl-proxies update PROXY_NAME \ --clear-certificate-map
Replace the following:
-
PROXY_NAME: name of the target proxy
API
To detach any attached certificate map from the target HTTPS proxy, make a POST
request to the targetHttpsProxies
method
:
POST /projects/ PROJECT_ID /global/targetHttpsProxies/ PROXY_NAME /setCertificateMap { certificateMap: "", }
To detach any attached certificate map from the target SSL proxy, make a POST
request to the targetSslProxies
method
:
POST /projects/ PROJECT_ID /global/targetSslProxies/ PROXY_NAME /setCertificateMap { certificateMap: "", }
Replace the following:
-
PROJECT_ID: ID of your Google Cloud project -
PROXY_NAME: name of the target proxy
Update a certificate map
