Certificate Authority API C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for the Certificate Authority API. The Certificate Authority Service API is a highly-available, scalable service that enables you to simplify and automate the management of private certificate authorities (CAs) while staying in control of your private keys.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.

For detailed instructions on how to build and install this library, see the top-level README.

#include "google/cloud/privateca/v1/certificate_authority_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/location.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 3) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
    return 1;
  }

  auto const location = google::cloud::Location(argv[1], argv[2]);

  namespace privateca = ::google::cloud::privateca_v1;
  auto client = privateca::CertificateAuthorityServiceClient(
      privateca::MakeCertificateAuthorityServiceConnection());

  for (auto ca_pool : client.ListCaPools(location.FullName())) {
    if (!ca_pool) throw std::move(ca_pool).status();
    std::cout << ca_pool->DebugString() << "\n";
  }

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}
