GCP Release Note: June 27, 2025

Certificate Authority Service

Feature

You can backdate the not_before_time of certificates by specifying the backdate_duration field within the issuance policy of your CA Pool. This new optional field in the issuance policy allows you to control the not_before_time of all certificates issued from a given CA Pool.

If backdate_duration is not set: Certificates are issued with a not_before_time equal to the current issuance time.

If backdate_duration is set: Certificates are issued with a not_before_time equal to the issuance time minus the specified backdate_duration. The not_after_time automatically adjusts to maintain the requested certificate lifetime.
