Editing Let's Encrypt certificate

After issuing a Let's Encrypt certificate and adding it to Certificate Manager, you can change its name or description. To edit a 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 need to change from the list.
In the window that opens, click Change.
Change the name or description of the certificate.
Click Save.

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.

  --new-name myupdatedmanagedcert \
  --description "description of myupdatedmanagedcert"

Where:

Command result:

id: fpq6gvvm6piu********
folder_id: b1g7gvsi89m3********
created_at: "2020-09-15T08:49:11.533Z"
...
- example.com
status: VALIDATING
updated_at: "2020-09-15T09:10:06.981875Z"

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

For more information about Terraform, see the documentation.

Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the fragment with the certificate description:

Sample certificate description

...
resource "yandex_cm_certificate" "le-certificate" {
  name        = "managed-certificate-for-dns"
  description = "this is a certificate for tls"
  domains     = ["my-domain.ru"]

  managed {
  challenge_type = "DNS_CNAME"
  }
}
...

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 changes done to the certificate and its configuration either from the management console or using this CLI command:

yc certificate-manager certificate get <certificate_name>

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