NAME
gcloud compute backend-services add-signed-url-key - add Cloud CDN Signed
URL key to a backend service
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute backend-services add-signed-url-key BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME
--key-file=LOCAL_FILE_PATH --key-name=KEY_NAME [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute backend-services add-signed-url-key is used to add a new
Cloud CDN Signed URL key to a backend service.
Cloud CDN Signed URLs give you a way to serve responses from the globally
distributed CDN cache, even if the request needs to be authorized.
Signed URLs are a mechanism to temporarily give a client access to a
private resource without requiring additional authorization. To achieve
this, the full request URL that should be allowed is hashed and
cryptographically signed. By using the signed URL you give it, that one
request will be considered authorized to receive the requested content.
Generally, a signed URL can be used by anyone who has it. However, it is
usually only intended to be used by the client that was directly given the
URL. To mitigate this, they expire at a time chosen by the issuer. To
minimize the risk of a signed URL being shared, it is recommended that the
signed URL be set to expire as soon as possible.
A 128-bit secret key is used for signing the URLs.
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME
Name of the backend service to operate on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--key-file=LOCAL_FILE_PATH
The file containing the RFC 4648 Section 5 base64url encoded 128-bit
secret key for Cloud CDN Signed URL. It is vital that the key is
strongly random. One way to generate such a key is with the following
command:
head -c 16 /dev/random | base64 | tr +/ -_ > [KEY_FILE_NAME]
--key-name=KEY_NAME
Name of the Cloud CDN Signed URL key.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
--billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
--help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
