based on your preferences a valid client certificate must show a chain of trust back to the trust anchor root certificate in the trust store this page provides instructions for creating your own trust chain by configuring your own root and intermediate certificates using the openssl library after creating the roots of trust this document outlines the process to upload them to the trust store of the certificate manager trustconfig resource this is followed by linking the trust config to the client authentication servertlspolicy resource and then attaching the client authentication resource to the target https proxy resource of the load balancer before you begin review the mutual tls overview review the guide to manage trust configs install the google cloud cli for a complete overview of the tool see the gcloud cli overview you can find commands related to load balancing in the api and gcloud cli reference if you haven t run the gcloud cli previously first run the gcloud init command to authenticate enable the following apis compute engine api certificate manager api network security and network services api to learn more see enabling apis if you are using global external application load balancer or classic application load balancer make sure you have set up a load balancer with any of the following supported backends vm instance group backends cloud storage buckets supported only if there is at least one backend service also attached to the load balancer in addition to the backend bucket cloud run app engine or cloud run functions hybrid connectivity private service connect backends if you are using regional external application load balancer cross region internal application load balancer or regional internal application load balancer make sure you have set up a load balancer with any of the following supported backends vm instance group backends cloud run hybrid connectivity private service connect backends set your project gcloud gcloud config set project project_id permissions to get the permissions that you need to complete this guide ask your administrator to grant you the following iam roles on the project to create load balancer resources such as targethttpsproxy compute load balancer admin roles compute loadbalanceradmin to use certificate manager resources certificate manager owner roles certificatemanager owner to create security and networking components compute network admin roles compute networkadmin and compute security admin roles compute securityadmin to create a project optional project creator roles resourcemanager projectcreator for more information about granting roles see manage access to projects folders and organizations you might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles note iam basic roles might also contain permissions to complete this guide you shouldn t grant basic roles in a production environment but you can grant them in a development or test environment create the root and intermediate certificates note if you already have certificates to upload to the trust store you can skip this step and jump to format the certificates if you need to use a self signed expired or otherwise invalid certificate or if root and intermediate certificates are unavailable you can create a self signed certificate and then add it to an allowlist in the trust config this section uses the openssl library to create the root certificate trust anchor and the intermediate certificate a root certificate is at the top of the certificate chain an intermediate certificate is a part of the chain of trust back to the root certificate the intermediate certificate is cryptographically signed by the root certificate when the load balancer receives a client certificate the load balancer validates it by establishing a chain of trust from the client certificate back to the configured trust anchor use the following commands to create the root and intermediate certificates the creation of the intermediate certificate is optional however in this setup we are using the intermediate certificate to sign the client certificate create an openssl configuration file in the following example the configuration file example cnf contains the ca_exts section which specifies x 509 extensions that mark the certificate as suitable for a ca to learn more about the requirements for root and intermediate certificates see certificate requirements cat example cnf eof req distinguished_name empty_distinguished_name empty_distinguished_name kept empty
