AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority

2018/04/04 - AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority - 16 new api methods

Changes  AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) Private Certificate Authority (CA) is a managed private CA service that helps you easily and securely manage the lifecycle of your private certificates. ACM Private CA provides you a highly-available private CA service without the upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs of operating your own private CA. ACM Private CA extends ACM's certificate management capabilities to private certificates, enabling you to manage public and private certificates centrally.

UntagCertificateAuthority (new) Link ¶

Remove one or more tags from your private CA. A tag consists of a key-value pair. If you do not specify the value portion of the tag when calling this function, the tag will be removed regardless of value. If you specify a value, the tag is removed only if it is associated with the specified value. To add tags to a private CA, use the TagCertificateAuthority. Call the ListTags function to see what tags are associated with your CA.

TagCertificateAuthority (new) Link ¶

Adds one or more tags to your private CA. Tags are labels that you can use to identify and organize your AWS resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You specify the private CA on input by its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You specify the tag by using a key-value pair. You can apply a tag to just one private CA if you want to identify a specific characteristic of that CA, or you can apply the same tag to multiple private CAs if you want to filter for a common relationship among those CAs. To remove one or more tags, use the UntagCertificateAuthority function. Call the ListTags function to see what tags are associated with your CA.

type CertificateAuthorityArn

string

param CertificateAuthorityArn

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called CreateCertificateAuthority. This must be of the form:

arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate-authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

type Csr

bytes

param Csr

[REQUIRED]

The certificate signing request (CSR) for the certificate you want to issue. 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 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

type SigningAlgorithm

string

param SigningAlgorithm

[REQUIRED]

The name of the algorithm that will be used to sign the certificate to be issued.

type Validity

dict

param Validity

[REQUIRED]

The type of the validity period.

  • Value (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

    Time period.

  • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    Specifies whether the Value parameter represents days, months, or years.

type IdempotencyToken

string

param IdempotencyToken

Custom string that can be used to distinguish between calls to the IssueCertificate function. Idempotency tokens time out after one hour. Therefore, if you call IssueCertificate multiple times with the same idempotency token within 5 minutes, ACM PCA 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.

RevokeCertificate (new) Link ¶

Revokes a certificate that you issued by calling the IssueCertificate function. If you enable a certificate revocation list (CRL) when you create or update your private CA, information about the revoked certificates will be included in the CRL. ACM PCA writes the CRL to an S3 bucket that you specify. For more information about revocation, see the CrlConfiguration structure. ACM PCA also writes revocation information to the audit report. For more information, see CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport.

DeleteCertificateAuthority (new) Link ¶

Deletes the private certificate authority (CA) that you created or started to create by calling the CreateCertificateAuthority function. This action requires that you enter an ARN (Amazon Resource Name) for the private CA that you want to delete. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities function. You can delete the CA if you are waiting for it to be created (the Status field of the CertificateAuthority is CREATING ) or if the CA has been created but you haven't yet imported the signed certificate (the Status is PENDING_CERTIFICATE ) into ACM PCA. If you've already imported the certificate, you cannot delete the CA unless it has been disabled for more than 30 days. To disable a CA, call the UpdateCertificateAuthority function and set the CertificateAuthorityStatus argument to DISABLED .

Request Syntax

client.delete_certificate_authority(
    CertificateAuthorityArn='string'

type CertificateAuthorityArn

param CertificateAuthorityArn

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called CreateCertificateAuthority. This must be of the form:

None

ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate (new) Link ¶

Imports your signed private CA certificate into ACM PCA. Before you can call this function, you must create the private certificate authority by calling the CreateCertificateAuthority function. You must then generate a certificate signing request (CSR) by calling the GetCertificateAuthorityCsr function. Take the CSR to your on-premises CA and use the root certificate or a subordinate certificate to sign it. Create a certificate chain and copy the signed certificate and the certificate chain to your working directory.

Note

Your certificate chain must not include the private CA certificate that you are importing.

Note

Your on-premises CA certificate must be the last certificate in your chain. The subordinate certificate, if any, that your root CA signed must be next to last. The subordinate certificate signed by the preceding subordinate CA must come next, and so on until your chain is built.

Note

The chain must be PEM-encoded.

GetCertificateAuthorityCsr (new) Link ¶

Retrieves the certificate signing request (CSR) for your private certificate authority (CA). The CSR is created when you call the CreateCertificateAuthority function. Take the CSR to your on-premises X.509 infrastructure and sign it by using your root or a subordinate CA. Then import the signed certificate back into ACM PCA by calling the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate function. The CSR is returned as a base64 PEM-encoded string.

CreateCertificateAuthority (new) Link ¶

Creates a private subordinate certificate authority (CA). You must specify the CA configuration, the revocation configuration, the CA type, and an optional idempotency token. 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 to sign, and X.500 subject information. The CRL (certificate revocation list) 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 function returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA.
