Creates a root or subordinate private certificate authority (CA). You must specify the CA configuration, the certificate revocation list (CRL) configuration, 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 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.

ACM Private CAA assets that are stored in Amazon S3 can be protected with encryption. For more information, see Encrypting Your CRLs.

Note

Both PCA and the IAM principal must have permission to write to the S3 bucket that you specify. If the IAM principal making the call does not have permission to write to the bucket, then an exception is thrown. For more information, see Configure Access to ACM Private CA.

      Disambiguating information for the certificate subject.

    • State (string) --

      State in which the subject of the certificate is located.

    • CommonName (string) --

      For CA and end-entity certificates in a private PKI, the common name (CN) can be any string within the length limit.

      Note: In publicly trusted certificates, the common name must be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) associated with the certificate subject.

    • SerialNumber (string) --

      The certificate serial number.

    • Locality (string) --

      The locality (such as a city or town) in which the certificate subject is located.

    • Title (string) --

      A title such as Mr. or Ms., which is pre-pended to the name to refer formally to the certificate subject.

      Family name. In the US and the UK, for example, the surname of an individual is ordered last. In Asian cultures the surname is typically ordered first.

    • GivenName (string) --

      First name.

    • 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.

type RevocationConfiguration

dict

param RevocationConfiguration

Contains a Boolean value that you can use to enable a certification revocation list (CRL) for the CA, the name of the S3 bucket to which ACM Private CA will write the CRL, and an optional CNAME alias that you can use to hide the name of your bucket in the CRL Distribution Points extension of your CA certificate. For more information, see the CrlConfiguration structure.

  • CrlConfiguration (dict) --

    Configuration of the certificate revocation list (CRL), if any, maintained by your private CA.

    • 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 action. You must specify a bucket policy that allows ACM Private CA to write the CRL to your bucket.

type CertificateAuthorityType

string

param CertificateAuthorityType

[REQUIRED]

The type of the certificate authority.

type IdempotencyToken

string

param IdempotencyToken

Alphanumeric string that can be used to distinguish between calls to CreateCertificateAuthority . For a given token, ACM Private CA creates exactly one CA. If you issue a subsequent call using the same token, ACM Private CA returns the ARN of the existing CA and takes no further action. If you change the idempotency token across multiple calls, ACM Private CA creates a unique CA for each unique token.

type Tags

list

param Tags

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.

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 - ACM Private CA is creating your private certificate authority.

  • PENDING_CERTIFICATE - The certificate is pending. You must use your ACM 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 backend AWS 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.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • 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 ACM Private CA-hosted or on-premises root or subordinate CA certificate. Call the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate action to import the signed certificate into AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

        • Arn (string) --

          Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for your private certificate authority (CA). The format is 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 .

        • OwnerAccount (string) --

          The AWS account ID that owns the certificate authority.

        • CreatedAt (datetime) --

          Date and time at which your private CA was created.

        • LastStateChangeAt (datetime) --

          Date and time at which your private CA was last updated.

        • Type (string) --

          Type of your private CA.

        • Serial (string) --
