How do I get the DN or "Subject" of my Google managed certificate for my GAE Standard application?

Google Cloud Serverless Applications

I want to restrict access to an external api using my certificate, and it asks for DN or “Subject” but I can not find that when I look at the certificate for my application in Chrome.

I am running GAE Standard and Google Managed Certificates.

Hi @jarrodhroberson ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

For your GAE Standard application, you can use the following steps to get the DN or “Subject” of your Google Managed Certificate:

  1. Log in to the Google Cloud Console and navigate to the App Engine dashboard for your application.
  2. Click on the “Settings” tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
  3. Click on the “SSL certificates” tab at the top of the screen.
  4. Locate the Google Managed Certificate that you want to use for your external API and click on the certificate name to view its details.
  5. In the “Certificate Details” section, look for the “Subject” field, which will contain the DN of the certificate. This field should be located near the top of the certificate details page

Once you have obtained the DN or “Subject” of your Google Managed Certificate, you can use it to configure access restrictions for your external API.

Thanks

Not the OP but my experience is that if you’re using Google Managed Certificates, then the SSL Certificates tab will be blank (I just checked again for our site). Is it supposed to show a certificate even in the case of Google Managed Certificate and if so, is there a step that needs to be executed to have it shown?
