Certificates

Last updated View as MarkdownAgent setup

Use these commands to manage certificates for mTLS connections.

The mtls-certificate commands manage client certificates for Worker subrequests. The cert commands manage both mTLS client certificates and Certificate Authority (CA) chain certificates, primarily for use with Hyperdrive configurations.

mtls-certificate

Manage client certificates used for mTLS connections in subrequests.

These certificates can be used in mtls_certificate bindings, which allow a Worker to present the certificate when establishing a connection with an origin that requires client authentication (mTLS).

mtls-certificate upload

Upload an mTLS certificate

npx wrangler mtls-certificate upload
  • --certstring required

    The path to a certificate file (.pem) containing a chain of certificates to upload

  • --keystring required

    The path to a file containing the private key for your leaf certificate

  • --namestring

    The name for the certificate

Global flags

  • --vboolean alias: --version

    Show version number

  • --cwdstring

    Run as if Wrangler was started in the specified directory instead of the current working directory

  • --configstring alias: --c

    Path to Wrangler configuration file

  • --envstring alias: --e

    Environment to use for operations, and for selecting .env and .dev.vars files

  • --env-filestring

    Path to an .env file to load - can be specified multiple times - values from earlier files are overridden by values in later files

  • --experimental-provisionboolean aliases: --x-provisiondefault: true

    Experimental: Enable automatic resource provisioning

  • --experimental-auto-createboolean alias: --x-auto-createdefault: true

    Automatically provision draft bindings with new resources

  • --install-skillsboolean default: false

    Install Cloudflare skills for detected AI coding agents before running the command

  • --profilestring

    Use a specific auth profile

The following is an example of using the upload command to upload an mTLS certificate.

npx wrangler mtls-certificate upload --cert cert.pem --key key.pem --name my-origin-cert
Uploading mTLS Certificate my-origin-cert...
Success! Uploaded mTLS Certificate my-origin-cert
ID: 99f5fef1-6cc1-46b8-bd79-44a0d5082b8d
Issuer: CN=my-secured-origin.com,OU=my-team,O=my-org,L=San Francisco,ST=California,C=US
Expires: 1/01/2025

You can then add this certificate as a binding in your Wrangler configuration file:

{
	"mtls_certificates": [
		{
			"binding": "MY_CERT",
			"certificate_id": "99f5fef1-6cc1-46b8-bd79-44a0d5082b8d",
		},
	],
}
[[mtls_certificates]]
binding = "MY_CERT"
certificate_id = "99f5fef1-6cc1-46b8-bd79-44a0d5082b8d"

Note that the certificate and private keys must be in separate (typically .pem) files when uploading.
