If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.
-
Open the Terraform configuration file and change the certificate name or description:
Sample certificate description in the Terraform configuration
... resource "yandex_cm_certificate" "imported-certificate" { name = "my-certificate" description = "this is a test certificate" self_managed { certificate = <<-EOT -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIF... -----END CERTIFICATE----- EOT private_key = <<-EOT -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MIIJ... -----END PRIVATE KEY----- EOT } } ...
-
Apply the changes:
-
In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
-
Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:
terraform validate
If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:
Success! The configuration is valid.
-
Run the command:
terraform plan
The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.
-
Apply the configuration changes:
terraform apply
-
Confirm the changes: type
yes
in the terminal and press Enter.
-
You can check the certificate update using the management console
yc certificate-manager certificate get <certificate_name>
To edit a certificate, use the update REST API method for the Certificate resource or the CertificateService/Update gRPC API call.
