Reference documentation and code samples for the Certificate Authority v1 API enum SubjectRequestMode.
Describes the way in which a
[Certificate][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.Certificate]'s
[Subject][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.Subject] and/or
[SubjectAltNames][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.SubjectAltNames] will be
resolved.
The default mode used in most cases. Indicates that the certificate's
[Subject][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.Subject] and/or
[SubjectAltNames][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.SubjectAltNames] are
specified in the certificate request. This mode requires the caller to have
the privateca.certificates.create permission.
ReflectedSpiffe
A mode reserved for special cases. Indicates that the certificate should
have one SPIFFE
[SubjectAltNames][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.SubjectAltNames] set
by the service based on the caller's identity. This mode will ignore any
explicitly specified [Subject][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.Subject]
and/or
[SubjectAltNames][google.cloud.security.privateca.v1.SubjectAltNames] in
the certificate request. This mode requires the caller to have the
privateca.certificates.createForSelf permission.
