2022/03/16 - AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority - 4 updated api methods
Changes AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) Private Certificate Authority (CA) now supports customizable certificate subject names and extensions.
{'CertificateAuthorityConfiguration': {'CsrExtensions': {'SubjectInformationAccess': {'AccessLocation': {'DirectoryName': {'CustomAttributes': [{'ObjectIdentifier': 'string',
'Value': 'string'}]}}}},
'Subject': {'CustomAttributes': [{'ObjectIdentifier': 'string',
'Value': 'string'}]}}}
Creates a root or subordinate private certificate authority (CA). You must specify the CA configuration, an optional configuration for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and/or a certificate revocation list (CRL), the CA type, and an optional idempotency token to avoid accidental creation of multiple CAs. The CA configuration specifies the name of the algorithm and key size to be used to create the CA private key, the type of signing algorithm that the CA uses, and X.500 subject information. The OCSP configuration can optionally specify a custom URL for the OCSP responder. The CRL configuration specifies the CRL expiration period in days (the validity period of the CRL), the Amazon S3 bucket that will contain the CRL, and a CNAME alias for the S3 bucket that is included in certificates issued by the CA. If successful, this action returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA.
Amazon Web Services Private CA assets that are stored in Amazon S3 can be protected with encryption. For more information, see Encrypting Your CRLs.

dict
Contains information to enable Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) support, to enable a certificate revocation list (CRL), to enable both, or to enable neither. The default is for both certificate validation mechanisms to be disabled. For more information, see the OcspConfiguration and CrlConfiguration types.
CrlConfiguration (dict) --
Configuration of the certificate revocation list (CRL), if any, maintained by your private CA. A CRL is typically updated approximately 30 minutes after a certificate is revoked. If for any reason a CRL update fails, Amazon Web Services Private CA makes further attempts every 15 minutes.
Enabled (boolean) -- [REQUIRED]
Boolean value that specifies whether certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are enabled. You can use this value to enable certificate revocation for a new CA when you call the CreateCertificateAuthority action or for an existing CA when you call the UpdateCertificateAuthority action.
ExpirationInDays (integer) --
Validity period of the CRL in days.
CustomCname (string) --
Name inserted into the certificate CRL Distribution Points extension that enables the use of an alias for the CRL distribution point. Use this value if you don't want the name of your S3 bucket to be public.
S3BucketName (string) --
Name of the S3 bucket that contains the CRL. If you do not provide a value for the CustomCname argument, the name of your S3 bucket is placed into the CRL Distribution Points extension of the issued certificate. You can change the name of your bucket by calling the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation. You must specify a bucket policy that allows Amazon Web Services Private CA to write the CRL to your bucket.
S3ObjectAcl (string) --
Determines whether the CRL will be publicly readable or privately held in the CRL Amazon S3 bucket. If you choose PUBLIC_READ, the CRL will be accessible over the public internet. If you choose BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL, only the owner of the CRL S3 bucket can access the CRL, and your PKI clients may need an alternative method of access.
If no value is specified, the default is PUBLIC_READ.
Note: This default can cause CA creation to fail in some circumstances. If you have have enabled the Block Public Access (BPA) feature in your S3 account, then you must specify the value of this parameter as BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL, and not doing so results in an error. If you have disabled BPA in S3, then you can specify either BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL or PUBLIC_READ as the value.
For more information, see Blocking public access to the S3 bucket.
OcspConfiguration (dict) --
Configuration of Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) support, if any, maintained by your private CA. When you revoke a certificate, OCSP responses may take up to 60 minutes to reflect the new status.
Enabled (boolean) -- [REQUIRED]
Flag enabling use of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) for validating certificate revocation status.
OcspCustomCname (string) --
By default, Amazon Web Services Private CA injects an Amazon Web Services domain into certificates being validated by the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). A customer can alternatively use this object to define a CNAME specifying a customized OCSP domain.
Note: The value of the CNAME must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
For more information, see Customizing Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) in the Amazon Web Services Private Certificate Authority User Guide.
string
[REQUIRED]
The type of the certificate authority.
string
Custom string that can be used to distinguish between calls to the CreateCertificateAuthority action. Idempotency tokens for CreateCertificateAuthority time out after five minutes. Therefore, if you call CreateCertificateAuthority multiple times with the same idempotency token within five minutes, Amazon Web Services Private CA recognizes that you are requesting only certificate authority and will issue only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, PCA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificate authorities.
string
Specifies a cryptographic key management compliance standard used for handling CA keys.
Default: FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_3_OR_HIGHER
Note: FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_3_OR_HIGHER is not supported in Region ap-northeast-3. When creating a CA in the ap-northeast-3, you must provide FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_2_OR_HIGHER as the argument for KeyStorageSecurityStandard. Failure to do this results in an InvalidArgsException with the message, "A certificate authority cannot be created in this region with the specified security standard."
list
Key-value pairs that will be attached to the new private CA. You can associate up to 50 tags with a private CA. For information using tags with IAM to manage permissions, see Controlling Access Using IAM Tags.
(dict) --
Tags are labels that you can use to identify and organize your private CAs. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You can associate up to 50 tags with a private CA. To add one or more tags to a private CA, call the TagCertificateAuthority action. To remove a tag, call the UntagCertificateAuthority action.
Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Key (name) of the tag.
Value (string) --
Value of the tag.

'Value': 'string'}]}}}},
'Subject': {'CustomAttributes': [{'ObjectIdentifier': 'string',
'Value': 'string'}]}}}}
Lists information about your private certificate authority (CA) or one that has been shared with you. You specify the private CA on input by its ARN (Amazon Resource Name). The output contains the status of your CA. This can be any of the following:
CREATING - Amazon Web Services Private CA is creating your private certificate authority.
PENDING_CERTIFICATE - The certificate is pending. You must use your Amazon Web Services Private CA-hosted or on-premises root or subordinate CA to sign your private CA CSR and then import it into PCA.
ACTIVE - Your private CA is active.
DISABLED - Your private CA has been disabled.
EXPIRED - Your private CA certificate has expired.
FAILED - Your private CA has failed. Your CA can fail because of problems such a network outage or back-end Amazon Web Services failure or other errors. A failed CA can never return to the pending state. You must create a new CA.
DELETED - Your private CA is within the restoration period, after which it is permanently deleted. The length of time remaining in the CA's restoration period is also included in this action's output.

Initials (string) --
Concatenation that typically contains the first letter of the GivenName, the first letter of the middle name if one exists, and the first letter of the Surname.
Pseudonym (string) --
Typically a shortened version of a longer GivenName. For example, Jonathan is often shortened to John. Elizabeth is often shortened to Beth, Liz, or Eliza.
GenerationQualifier (string) --
Typically a qualifier appended to the name of an individual. Examples include Jr. for junior, Sr. for senior, and III for third.
CustomAttributes (list) --
Contains a sequence of one or more X.500 relative distinguished names (RDNs), each of which consists of an object identifier (OID) and a value. For more information, see NIST’s definition of Object Identifier (OID).
(dict) --
Defines the X.500 relative distinguished name (RDN).
ObjectIdentifier (string) --
Specifies the object identifier (OID) of the attribute type of the relative distinguished name (RDN).
Value (string) --
Specifies the attribute value of relative distinguished name (RDN).
EdiPartyName (dict) --
Represents GeneralName as an EdiPartyName object.
PartyName (string) --
Specifies the party name.
NameAssigner (string) --
Specifies the name assigner.
UniformResourceIdentifier (string) --
Represents GeneralName as a URI.
IpAddress (string) --
Represents GeneralName as an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
RegisteredId (string) --
Represents GeneralName as an object identifier (OID).
RevocationConfiguration (dict) --
Information about the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) configuration or certificate revocation list (CRL) created and maintained by your private CA.
CrlConfiguration (dict) --
Configuration of the certificate revocation list (CRL), if any, maintained by your private CA. A CRL is typically updated approximately 30 minutes after a certificate is revoked. If for any reason a CRL update fails, Amazon Web Services Private CA makes further attempts every 15 minutes.
Enabled (boolean) --
Boolean value that specifies whether certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are enabled. You can use this value to enable certificate revocation for a new CA when you call the CreateCertificateAuthority action or for an existing CA when you call the UpdateCertificateAuthority action.
ExpirationInDays (integer) --
Validity period of the CRL in days.
CustomCname (string) --
Name inserted into the certificate CRL Distribution Points extension that enables the use of an alias for the CRL distribution point. Use this value if you don't want the name of your S3 bucket to be public.
S3BucketName (string) --
Name of the S3 bucket that contains the CRL. If you do not provide a value for the CustomCname argument, the name of your S3 bucket is placed into the CRL Distribution Points extension of the issued certificate. You can change the name of your bucket by calling the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation. You must specify a bucket policy that allows Amazon Web Services Private CA to write the CRL to your bucket.
S3ObjectAcl (string) --
Determines whether the CRL will be publicly readable or privately held in the CRL Amazon S3 bucket. If you choose PUBLIC_READ, the CRL will be accessible over the public internet. If you choose BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL, only the owner of the CRL S3 bucket can access the CRL, and your PKI clients may need an alternative method of access.
If no value is specified, the default is PUBLIC_READ.
Note: This default can cause CA creation to fail in some circumstances. If you have have enabled the Block Public Access (BPA) feature in your S3 account, then you must specify the value of this parameter as BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL, and not doing so results in an error. If you have disabled BPA in S3, then you can specify either BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL or PUBLIC_READ as the value.
For more information, see Blocking public access to the S3 bucket.
OcspConfiguration (dict) --
Configuration of Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) support, if any, maintained by your private CA. When you revoke a certificate, OCSP responses may take up to 60 minutes to reflect the new status.
Enabled (boolean) --
Flag enabling use of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) for validating certificate revocation status.
OcspCustomCname (string) --
By default, Amazon Web Services Private CA injects an Amazon Web Services domain into certificates being validated by the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). A customer can alternatively use this object to define a CNAME specifying a customized OCSP domain.
Note: The value of the CNAME must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
For more information, see Customizing Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) in the Amazon Web Services Private Certificate Authority User Guide.
RestorableUntil (datetime) --
The period during which a deleted CA can be restored. For more information, see the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter of the DeleteCertificateAuthorityRequest action.
KeyStorageSecurityStandard (string) --
Defines a cryptographic key management compliance standard used for handling CA keys.
Default: FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_3_OR_HIGHER
Note: Amazon Web Services Region ap-northeast-3 supports only FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_2_OR_HIGHER. You must explicitly specify this parameter and value when creating a CA in that Region. Specifying a different value (or no value) results in an InvalidArgsException with the message "A certificate authority cannot be created in this region with the specified security standard."

string
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called CreateCertificateAuthority. This must be of the form:
arn:aws:acm-pca:region:account:certificate-authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
bytes
[REQUIRED]
The certificate signing request (CSR) for the certificate you want to issue. As an example, you can use the following OpenSSL command to create the CSR and a 2048 bit RSA private key.
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -keyout private/test_cert_priv_key.pem -out csr/test_cert_.csr
If you have a configuration file, you can then use the following OpenSSL command. The usr_cert block in the configuration file contains your X509 version 3 extensions.
openssl req -new -config openssl_rsa.cnf -extensions usr_cert -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -keyout private/test_cert_priv_key.pem -out csr/test_cert_.csr
Note: A CSR must provide either a subject name or a subject alternative name or the request will be rejected.
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the algorithm that will be used to sign the certificate to be issued.
This parameter should not be confused with the SigningAlgorithm parameter used to sign a CSR in the CreateCertificateAuthority action.
string
Specifies a custom configuration template to use when issuing a certificate. If this parameter is not provided, Amazon Web Services Private CA defaults to the EndEntityCertificate/V1 template. For CA certificates, you should choose the shortest path length that meets your needs. The path length is indicated by the PathLen*N* portion of the ARN, where N is the CA depth.
Note: The CA depth configured on a subordinate CA certificate must not exceed the limit set by its parents in the CA hierarchy.
For a list of TemplateArn values supported by Amazon Web Services Private CA, see Understanding Certificate Templates.
dict
[REQUIRED]
Information describing the end of the validity period of the certificate. This parameter sets the “Not After” date for the certificate.
Certificate validity is the period of time during which a certificate is valid. Validity can be expressed as an explicit date and time when the certificate expires, or as a span of time after issuance, stated in days, months, or years. For more information, see Validity in RFC 5280.
This value is unaffected when ValidityNotBefore is also specified. For example, if Validity is set to 20 days in the future, the certificate will expire 20 days from issuance time regardless of the ValidityNotBefore value.
The end of the validity period configured on a certificate must not exceed the limit set on its parents in the CA hierarchy.
Value (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
A long integer interpreted according to the value of Type, below.
Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Determines how Amazon Web Services Private CA interprets the Value parameter, an integer. Supported validity types include those listed below. Type definitions with values include a sample input value and the resulting output.
END_DATE: The specific date and time when the certificate will expire, expressed using UTCTime (YYMMDDHHMMSS) or GeneralizedTime (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) format. When UTCTime is used, if the year field (YY) is greater than or equal to 50, the year is interpreted as 19YY. If the year field is less than 50, the year is interpreted as 20YY.
Sample input value: 491231235959 (UTCTime format)
Output expiration date/time: 12/31/2049 23:59:59
ABSOLUTE: The specific date and time when the validity of a certificate will start or expire, expressed in seconds since the Unix Epoch.
Sample input value: 2524608000
Output expiration date/time: 01/01/2050 00:00:00
DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS: The relative time from the moment of issuance until the certificate will expire, expressed in days, months, or years.
Example if DAYS, issued on 10/12/2020 at 12:34:54 UTC:
Sample input value: 90
Output expiration date: 01/10/2020 12:34:54 UTC
The minimum validity duration for a certificate using relative time ( DAYS) is one day. The minimum validity for a certificate using absolute time ( ABSOLUTE or END_DATE) is one second.
dict
Information describing the start of the validity period of the certificate. This parameter sets the “Not Before" date for the certificate.
By default, when issuing a certificate, Amazon Web Services Private CA sets the "Not Before" date to the issuance time minus 60 minutes. This compensates for clock inconsistencies across computer systems. The ValidityNotBefore parameter can be used to customize the “Not Before” value.
Unlike the Validity parameter, the ValidityNotBefore parameter is optional.
The ValidityNotBefore value is expressed as an explicit date and time, using the Validity type value ABSOLUTE. For more information, see Validity in this API reference and Validity in RFC 5280.
Value (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
A long integer interpreted according to the value of Type, below.
Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Determines how Amazon Web Services Private CA interprets the Value parameter, an integer. Supported validity types include those listed below. Type definitions with values include a sample input value and the resulting output.
END_DATE: The specific date and time when the certificate will expire, expressed using UTCTime (YYMMDDHHMMSS) or GeneralizedTime (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) format. When UTCTime is used, if the year field (YY) is greater than or equal to 50, the year is interpreted as 19YY. If the year field is less than 50, the year is interpreted as 20YY.
Sample input value: 491231235959 (UTCTime format)
Output expiration date/time: 12/31/2049 23:59:59
ABSOLUTE: The specific date and time when the validity of a certificate will start or expire, expressed in seconds since the Unix Epoch.
Sample input value: 2524608000
Output expiration date/time: 01/01/2050 00:00:00
DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS: The relative time from the moment of issuance until the certificate will expire, expressed in days, months, or years.
Example if DAYS, issued on 10/12/2020 at 12:34:54 UTC:
Sample input value: 90
Output expiration date: 01/10/2020 12:34:54 UTC
The minimum validity duration for a certificate using relative time ( DAYS) is one day. The minimum validity for a certificate using absolute time ( ABSOLUTE or END_DATE) is one second.
string
Alphanumeric string that can be used to distinguish between calls to the IssueCertificate action. Idempotency tokens for IssueCertificate time out after one minute. Therefore, if you call IssueCertificate multiple times with the same idempotency token within one minute, Amazon Web Services Private CA recognizes that you are requesting only one certificate and will issue only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, PCA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificates.

CertificateAuthorities (list) --
Summary information about each certificate authority you have created.
(dict) --
Contains information about your private certificate authority (CA). Your private CA can issue and revoke X.509 digital certificates. Digital certificates verify that the entity named in the certificate Subject field owns or controls the public key contained in the Subject Public Key Info field. Call the CreateCertificateAuthority action to create your private CA. You must then call the GetCertificateAuthorityCertificate action to retrieve a private CA certificate signing request (CSR). Sign the CSR with your Amazon Web Services Private CA-hosted or on-premises root or subordinate CA certificate. Call the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate action to import the signed certificate into Certificate Manager (ACM).

Information about the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) configuration or certificate revocation list (CRL) created and maintained by your private CA.
CrlConfiguration (dict) --
Configuration of the certificate revocation list (CRL), if any, maintained by your private CA. A CRL is typically updated approximately 30 minutes after a certificate is revoked. If for any reason a CRL update fails, Amazon Web Services Private CA makes further attempts every 15 minutes.
Enabled (boolean) --
Boolean value that specifies whether certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are enabled. You can use this value to enable certificate revocation for a new CA when you call the CreateCertificateAuthority action or for an existing CA when you call the UpdateCertificateAuthority action.
ExpirationInDays (integer) --
Validity period of the CRL in days.
CustomCname (string) --
Name inserted into the certificate CRL Distribution Points extension that enables the use of an alias for the CRL distribution point. Use this value if you don't want the name of your S3 bucket to be public.
S3BucketName (string) --
Name of the S3 bucket that contains the CRL. If you do not provide a value for the CustomCname argument, the name of your S3 bucket is placed into the CRL Distribution Points extension of the issued certificate. You can change the name of your bucket by calling the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation. You must specify a bucket policy that allows Amazon Web Services Private CA to write the CRL to your bucket.
S3ObjectAcl (string) --
Determines whether the CRL will be publicly readable or privately held in the CRL Amazon S3 bucket. If you choose PUBLIC_READ, the CRL will be accessible over the public internet. If you choose BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL, only the owner of the CRL S3 bucket can access the CRL, and your PKI clients may need an alternative method of access.
If no value is specified, the default is PUBLIC_READ.
Note: This default can cause CA creation to fail in some circumstances. If you have have enabled the Block Public Access (BPA) feature in your S3 account, then you must specify the value of this parameter as BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL, and not doing so results in an error. If you have disabled BPA in S3, then you can specify either BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL or PUBLIC_READ as the value.
For more information, see Blocking public access to the S3 bucket.
OcspConfiguration (dict) --
Configuration of Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) support, if any, maintained by your private CA. When you revoke a certificate, OCSP responses may take up to 60 minutes to reflect the new status.
Enabled (boolean) --
Flag enabling use of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) for validating certificate revocation status.
OcspCustomCname (string) --
By default, Amazon Web Services Private CA injects an Amazon Web Services domain into certificates being validated by the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). A customer can alternatively use this object to define a CNAME specifying a customized OCSP domain.
Note: The value of the CNAME must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
For more information, see Customizing Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) in the Amazon Web Services Private Certificate Authority User Guide.
RestorableUntil (datetime) --
The period during which a deleted CA can be restored. For more information, see the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter of the DeleteCertificateAuthorityRequest action.
KeyStorageSecurityStandard (string) --
Defines a cryptographic key management compliance standard used for handling CA keys.
Default: FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_3_OR_HIGHER
Note: Amazon Web Services Region ap-northeast-3 supports only FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_2_OR_HIGHER. You must explicitly specify this parameter and value when creating a CA in that Region. Specifying a different value (or no value) results in an InvalidArgsException with the message "A certificate authority cannot be created in this region with the specified security standard."
NextToken (string) --
When the list is truncated, this value is present and should be used for the NextToken parameter in a subsequent pagination request.
