Deleting a custom certificate

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View a description of the command:

   yc certificate-manager certificates delete --help
   

2. View the list of certificates:

   yc certificate-manager certificate list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+---------------+-------------+---------------------+----------+--------+
   |          ID          |     NAME      |   DOMAINS   |      NOT AFTER      |   TYPE   | STATUS |
   +----------------------+---------------+-------------+---------------------+----------+--------+
   | fpqmg47avvim******** | myupdatedcert | example.com | 2021-09-15 08:12:57 | IMPORTED | ISSUED |
   +----------------------+---------------+-------------+---------------------+----------+--------+
   

3. Run this command:

   yc certificate-manager certificates delete \
     --id fpqmg47avvim********
   

   Where --id: Certificate ID.

   Result:

   id: fpqmg47avvim********
   folder_id: b1g7gvsi89m3********
   created_at: "2020-09-15T06:54:44.916Z"
   ...
   issued_at: "2020-09-15T08:23:50.147Z"
   not_after: "2021-09-15T08:12:57Z"
   not_before: "2020-09-15T08:12:57Z"
   

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the certificate description:

   Sample certificate description in the Terraform configuration

   ...
   resource "yandex_cm_certificate" "imported-certificate" {
     name    = "my-certificate"
   
     self_managed {
       certificate = <<-EOT
                     -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
                     MIIF...
                     -----END CERTIFICATE-----
                     EOT
       private_key = <<-EOT
                     -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
                     MIIJ...
                     -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
                     EOT
     }
   }
   ...
   

2. Apply the changes:

   1. In the terminal, go to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with their properties. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will point them out.

   4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

You can check the certificate deletion using the management console or this CLI command:

yc certificate-manager certificate list

To delete a certificate, use the delete REST API method for the Certificate resource or the CertificateService/Delete gRPC API call.
