A target SSL proxy is a component of a Proxy Network Load Balancer. The forwarding rule references the target SSL proxy, and the target proxy then references a backend service. For more information, readProxy Network Load Balancer overview.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply withRFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description
string
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
selfLink
string
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
service
string
URL to the BackendService resource.
sslCertificates[]
string
URLs toSslCertificateresources that are used to authenticate connections to Backends. At least one SSL certificate must be specified. Currently, you may specify up to 15 SSL certificates. sslCertificates do not apply when the load balancing scheme is set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
certificateMap
string
URL of a certificate map that identifies a certificate map associated with the given target proxy. This field can only be set for global target proxies. If set, sslCertificates will be ignored.
Accepted format is//certificatemanager.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/certificateMaps/{resourceName}.
proxyHeader
enum
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend, eitherNONEorPROXY_V1. The default isNONE.
sslPolicy
string
URL of SslPolicy resource that will be associated with the TargetSslProxy resource. If not set, the TargetSslProxy resource will not have any SSL policy configured.
