Need to know the format of the SSL Certificate URL in GCP setSSLCertificates call

Question

I want to set the SSL certificate used by a GCP target SSL proxy using the api call that looks like:

https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/targetSslProxies/{resourceId}/setSslCertificates

However, this call requires an sslCertificate argument in the request body, and this is described as a string which contains:

"New set of URLs to SslCertificate resources to associate with this TargetSslProxy. Currently exactly one ssl certificate must be specified."

But I can't find where it explains what a "URL to SslCertificate" looks like. If you use the certificate name in GCP, it gives a malformed URL error.

Does anyone know what this URL is supposed to look like?

I’m reading about your issue, i think you are setting pp SSL Proxy Load Balancing.

The official documentation to create an SSL Proxy Load Balancer is very complete, for my part I have completed all instructions and it works well.

It’s probably you are talking about this section “Configure your SSL certificate resources”.

You can create the self-signed certificates using this page “Working with self-managed SSL certificates”, before create an SSL Certificate.
