Imports a certificate into AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to use with services that are integrated with ACM. Note that integrated services allow only certificate types and keys they support to be associated with their resources. Further, their support differs depending on whether the certificate is imported into IAM or into ACM. For more information, see the documentation for each service. For more information about importing certificates into ACM, see Importing Certificates in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide .

Note

ACM does not provide managed renewal for certificates that you import.

Note the following guidelines when importing third party certificates:

  • You must enter the private key that matches the certificate you are importing.

  • The private key must be unencrypted. You cannot import a private key that is protected by a password or a passphrase.

  • If the certificate you are importing is not self-signed, you must enter its certificate chain.

  • If a certificate chain is included, the issuer must be the subject of one of the certificates in the chain.

  • The certificate, private key, and certificate chain must be PEM-encoded.

  • The current time must be between the Not Before and Not After certificate fields.

  • The Issuer field must not be empty.

  • The OCSP authority URL, if present, must not exceed 1000 characters.

  • To import a new certificate, omit the CertificateArn argument. Include this argument only when you want to replace a previously imported certifica

  • When you import a certificate by using the CLI, you must specify the certificate, the certificate chain, and the private key by their file names preceded by file:// . For example, you can specify a certificate saved in the C:\temp folder as file://C:\temp\certificate_to_import.pem . If you are making an HTTP or HTTPS Query request, include these arguments as BLOBs.

  • When you import a certificate by using an SDK, you must specify the certificate, the certificate chain, and the private key files in the manner required by the programming language you're using.

  • The cryptographic algorithm of an imported certificate must match the algorithm of the signing CA. For example, if the signing CA key type is RSA, then the certificate key type must also be RSA.

This operation returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the imported certificate.

RequestCertificate (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'Tags': [{'Key': 'string', 'Value': 'string'}]}

Requests an ACM certificate for use with other AWS services. To request an ACM certificate, you must specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the DomainName parameter. You can also specify additional FQDNs in the SubjectAlternativeNames parameter.

If you are requesting a private certificate, domain validation is not required. If you are requesting a public certificate, each domain name that you specify must be validated to verify that you own or control the domain. You can use DNS validation or email validation. We recommend that you use DNS validation. ACM issues public certificates after receiving approval from the domain owner.

        },
    ]
)
type DomainName

string

param DomainName

[REQUIRED]

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com, that you want to secure with an ACM certificate. Use an asterisk (*) to create a wildcard certificate that protects several sites in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects www.example.com, site.example.com, and images.example.com.

The first domain name you enter cannot exceed 64 octets, including periods. Each subsequent Subject Alternative Name (SAN), however, can be up to 253 octets in length.

type ValidationMethod

string

param ValidationMethod

The method you want to use if you are requesting a public certificate to validate that you own or control domain. You can validate with DNS or validate with email. We recommend that you use DNS validation.

type SubjectAlternativeNames

list

param SubjectAlternativeNames

Additional FQDNs to be included in the Subject Alternative Name extension of the ACM certificate. For example, add the name www.example.net to a certificate for which the DomainName field is www.example.com if users can reach your site by using either name. The maximum number of domain names that you can add to an ACM certificate is 100. However, the initial limit is 10 domain names. If you need more than 10 names, you must request a limit increase. For more information, see Limits.

The maximum length of a SAN DNS name is 253 octets. The name is made up of multiple labels separated by periods. No label can be longer than 63 octets. Consider the following examples:

  • (63 octets).(63 octets).(63 octets).(61 octets) is legal because the total length is 253 octets (63+1+63+1+63+1+61) and no label exceeds 63 octets.

  • (64 octets).(63 octets).(63 octets).(61 octets) is not legal because the total length exceeds 253 octets (64+1+63+1+63+1+61) and the first label exceeds 63 octets.

  • (63 octets).(63 octets).(63 octets).(62 octets) is not legal because the total length of the DNS name (63+1+63+1+63+1+62) exceeds 253 octets.

  • (string) --

type IdempotencyToken

string

param IdempotencyToken

Customer chosen string that can be used to distinguish between calls to RequestCertificate . Idempotency tokens time out after one hour. Therefore, if you call RequestCertificate multiple times with the same idempotency token within one hour, ACM recognizes that you are requesting only one certificate and will issue only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, ACM recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificates.

type DomainValidationOptions

list

param DomainValidationOptions

The domain name that you want ACM to use to send you emails so that you can validate domain ownership.

  • (dict) --

    Contains information about the domain names that you want ACM to use to send you emails that enable you to validate domain ownership.

    • DomainName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the certificate request.

    • ValidationDomain (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The domain name that you want ACM to use to send you validation emails. This domain name is the suffix of the email addresses that you want ACM to use. This must be the same as the DomainName value or a superdomain of the DomainName value. For example, if you request a certificate for testing.example.com , you can specify example.com for this value. In that case, ACM sends domain validation emails to the following five addresses:

type Options

dict

param Options

Currently, you can use this parameter to specify whether to add the certificate to a certificate transparency log. Certificate transparency makes it possible to detect SSL/TLS certificates that have been mistakenly or maliciously issued. Certificates that have not been logged typically produce an error message in a browser. For more information, see Opting Out of Certificate Transparency Logging.

  • CertificateTransparencyLoggingPreference (string) --

    You can opt out of certificate transparency logging by specifying the DISABLED option. Opt in by specifying ENABLED .

type CertificateAuthorityArn

string

param CertificateAuthorityArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the private certificate authority (CA) that will be used to issue the certificate. If you do not provide an ARN and you are trying to request a private certificate, ACM will attempt to issue a public certificate. For more information about private CAs, see the AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority (PCA) user guide. The ARN must have the following form:

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

type Tags
