Renewing a custom certificate

Certificate Manager doesn't manage user certificates. To make your certificate continuously available to your resources, be sure to renew it on time.

To get a new version of a user certificate:

Management console

CLI

Terraform

API

In the management console, select the folder the certificate was added to.
In the list of services, select Certificate Manager.
Select the certificate you want to renew in the list.
In the window that opens, click Renew certificate.
In the window that opens, click Add certificate in the Certificate field.
1. Select how to add your certificate: File or Text.
2. Click Add.
In the Intermediate certificate chain field, click Add chain.
1. Select how to add your certificate: File or Text.
2. Click Add.
In the Private key field, click Add private key.
1. Select how to add your certificate: File or Text.
2. Click Add.
Click Create.

If you don't have the Nebius Israel command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Nebius Israel provider.

Open the Terraform configuration file and change the certificate and private_key parameters of the certificate:

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:
1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
2. 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.
```
3. 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.
4. Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the certificate's update using the management console or this CLI command:

yc certificate-manager certificate get <certificate_name>

To renew a certificate, use the update REST API method for the Certificate resource or the CertificateService/Update gRPC API call.
