    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 function or for an existing CA when you call the UpdateCertificateAuthority function.

    • ExpirationInDays (integer) --

      Number of days until a certificate expires.

    • 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 function. You must specify a bucket policy that allows ACM PCA to write the CRL to your bucket.

type Status:

string

param Status:

Status of your private CA.

returns:

None

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.

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.

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.

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.
