Client: Aws\ACMPCA\ACMPCAClient
Service ID: acm-pca
Version: 2017-08-22
This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority (2017-08-22), and shows how to use the Aws\ACMPCA\ACMPCAClientobject to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2017-08-22 API version of the service.
Operation Summary
Each of the following operations can be created from a client using$client->getCommand('CommandName')
, where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.
You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */)
. You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */)
.

Operations
result=result = result=client->createCertificateAuthority
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->createCertificateAuthorityAsync
([/ ... */]);
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.
Both Amazon Web Services Private CA 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 Access policies for CRLs in Amazon S3.
Amazon Web Services Private CA assets that are stored in Amazon S3 can be protected with encryption. For more information, see Encrypting Your CRLs.

Parameter Details
Members
CertificateAuthorityConfiguration
Required: Yes
Type: CertificateAuthorityConfiguration structure
Name and bit size of the private key algorithm, the name of the signing algorithm, and X.500 certificate subject information.
CertificateAuthorityType
Required: Yes
Type: string
The type of the certificate authority.
IdempotencyToken
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, Amazon Web Services Private CA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificate authorities.
KeyStorageSecurityStandard
Specifies a cryptographic key management compliance standard used for handling CA keys.
Default: FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_3_OR_HIGHER
Some Amazon Web Services Regions do not support the default. When creating a CA in these Regions, 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."
For information about security standard support in various Regions, see Storage and security compliance of Amazon Web Services Private CA private keys.
RevocationConfiguration
Type: RevocationConfiguration structure
Contains information to enable support for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), certificate revocation list (CRL), both protocols, or neither. By default, both certificate validation mechanisms are disabled.
The following requirements apply to revocation configurations.
- A configuration disabling CRLs or OCSP must contain only the
Enabled=False
parameter, and will fail if other parameters such asCustomCname
orExpirationInDays
are included. - In a CRL configuration, the
S3BucketName
parameter must conform to Amazon S3 bucket naming rules. - A configuration containing a custom Canonical Name (CNAME) parameter for CRLs or OCSP must conform to RFC2396 restrictions on the use of special characters in a CNAME.
- In a CRL or OCSP configuration, the value of a CNAME parameter must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
For more information, see the OcspConfiguration and CrlConfiguration types.
Tags
Type: Array of Tag structures
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.
UsageMode
Specifies whether the CA issues general-purpose certificates that typically require a revocation mechanism, or short-lived certificates that may optionally omit revocation because they expire quickly. Short-lived certificate validity is limited to seven days.
The default value is GENERAL_PURPOSE.

The state of the private CA does not allow this action to occur.
Your request is already in progress.
CreatePermission
result=result = result=client->createPermission
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->createPermissionAsync
([/ ... */]);
Grants one or more permissions on a private CA to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com
). These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA.
You can list current permissions with the ListPermissions action and revoke them with the DeletePermission action.
About Permissions
- If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use
CreatePermission
to grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals. - For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
- If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.

DeleteCertificateAuthority
result=result = result=client->deleteCertificateAuthority
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->deleteCertificateAuthorityAsync
([/ ... */]);
Deletes a private certificate authority (CA). You must provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the private CA that you want to delete. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities action.
Deleting a CA will invalidate other CAs and certificates below it in your CA hierarchy.
Before you can delete a CA that you have created and activated, you must disable it. To do this, call the UpdateCertificateAuthority action and set the CertificateAuthorityStatus parameter to DISABLED
.
Additionally, you can delete a CA if you are waiting for it to be created (that is, the status of the CA is CREATING
). You can also delete it if the CA has been created but you haven't yet imported the signed certificate into Amazon Web Services Private CA (that is, the status of the CA is PENDING_CERTIFICATE
).
When you successfully call DeleteCertificateAuthority, the CA's status changes to DELETED
. However, the CA won't be permanently deleted until the restoration period has passed. By default, if you do not set the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays
parameter, the CA remains restorable for 30 days. You can set the parameter from 7 to 30 days. The DescribeCertificateAuthority action returns the time remaining in the restoration window of a private CA in the DELETED
state. To restore an eligible CA, call the RestoreCertificateAuthority action.
Parameter Syntax
result=result = result=client->deleteCertificateAuthority([ 'CertificateAuthorityArn' => '', // REQUIRED 'PermanentDeletionTimeInDays' => , ]);

DeletePermission
result=result = result=client->deletePermission
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->deletePermissionAsync
([/ ... */]);
Revokes permissions on a private CA granted to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com).
These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA. If you revoke these permissions, ACM will no longer renew the affected certificates automatically.
Permissions can be granted with the CreatePermission action and listed with the ListPermissions action.
About Permissions

DeletePolicy
result=result = result=client->deletePolicy
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->deletePolicyAsync
([/ ... */]);
Deletes the resource-based policy attached to a private CA. Deletion will remove any access that the policy has granted. If there is no policy attached to the private CA, this action will return successful.
If you delete a policy that was applied through Amazon Web Services Resource Access Manager (RAM), the CA will be removed from all shares in which it was included.
The Certificate Manager Service Linked Role that the policy supports is not affected when you delete the policy.
The current policy can be shown with GetPolicy and updated with PutPolicy.
About Policies
- A policy grants access on a private CA to an Amazon Web Services customer account, to Amazon Web Services Organizations, or to an Amazon Web Services Organizations unit. Policies are under the control of a CA administrator. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.
- A policy permits a user of Certificate Manager (ACM) to issue ACM certificates signed by a CA in another account.
- For ACM to manage automatic renewal of these certificates, the ACM user must configure a Service Linked Role (SLR). The SLR allows the ACM service to assume the identity of the user, subject to confirmation against the Amazon Web Services Private CA policy. For more information, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM.
- Updates made in Amazon Web Services Resource Manager (RAM) are reflected in policies. For more information, see Attach a Policy for Cross-Account Access.

About Policies
- A policy grants access on a private CA to an Amazon Web Services customer account, to Amazon Web Services Organizations, or to an Amazon Web Services Organizations unit. Policies are under the control of a CA administrator. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.
- A policy permits a user of Certificate Manager (ACM) to issue ACM certificates signed by a CA in another account.
- For ACM to manage automatic renewal of these certificates, the ACM user must configure a Service Linked Role (SLR). The SLR allows the ACM service to assume the identity of the user, subject to confirmation against the Amazon Web Services Private CA policy. For more information, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM.
- Updates made in Amazon Web Services Resource Manager (RAM) are reflected in policies. For more information, see Attach a Policy for Cross-Account Access.

ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate
result=result = result=client->importCertificateAuthorityCertificate
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->importCertificateAuthorityCertificateAsync
([/ ... */]);
Imports a signed private CA certificate into Amazon Web Services Private CA. This action is used when you are using a chain of trust whose root is located outside Amazon Web Services Private CA. Before you can call this action, the following preparations must in place:
- In Amazon Web Services Private CA, call the CreateCertificateAuthority action to create the private CA that you plan to back with the imported certificate.
- Call the GetCertificateAuthorityCsr action to generate a certificate signing request (CSR).
- Sign the CSR using a root or intermediate CA hosted by either an on-premises PKI hierarchy or by a commercial CA.
- Create a certificate chain and copy the signed certificate and the certificate chain to your working directory.
Amazon Web Services Private CA supports three scenarios for installing a CA certificate:
- Installing a certificate for a root CA hosted by Amazon Web Services Private CA.
- Installing a subordinate CA certificate whose parent authority is hosted by Amazon Web Services Private CA.
- Installing a subordinate CA certificate whose parent authority is externally hosted.
The following additional requirements apply when you import a CA certificate.
- Only a self-signed certificate can be imported as a root CA.
- A self-signed certificate cannot be imported as a subordinate CA.
- Your certificate chain must not include the private CA certificate that you are importing.
- Your root CA 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.
- The chain must be PEM-encoded.
- The maximum allowed size of a certificate is 32 KB.
- The maximum allowed size of a certificate chain is 2 MB.
Enforcement of Critical Constraints
Amazon Web Services Private CA allows the following extensions to be marked critical in the imported CA certificate or chain.
- Authority key identifier
- Basic constraints (must be marked critical)
- Certificate policies
- Extended key usage
- Inhibit anyPolicy
- Issuer alternative name
- Key usage
- Name constraints
- Policy mappings
- Subject alternative name
- Subject directory attributes
- Subject key identifier
- Subject information access
Amazon Web Services Private CA rejects the following extensions when they are marked critical in an imported CA certificate or chain.
- Authority information access
- CRL distribution points
- Freshest CRL
- Policy constraints
Amazon Web Services Private Certificate Authority will also reject any other extension marked as critical not contained on the preceding list of allowed extensions.

Parameter Details
Members
ApiPassthrough
Type: ApiPassthrough structure
Specifies X.509 certificate information to be included in the issued certificate. An APIPassthrough
or APICSRPassthrough
template variant must be selected, or else this parameter is ignored. For more information about using these templates, see Understanding Certificate Templates.
If conflicting or duplicate certificate information is supplied during certificate issuance, Amazon Web Services Private CA applies order of operation rules to determine what information is used.
CertificateAuthorityArn
Required: Yes
Type: string
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_
Csr
Required: Yes
Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)
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.
IdempotencyToken
Alphanumeric string that can be used to distinguish between calls to the IssueCertificate action. Idempotency tokens for IssueCertificate time out after five minutes. Therefore, if you call IssueCertificate multiple times with the same idempotency token within five minutes, 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, Amazon Web Services Private CA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificates.
SigningAlgorithm
Required: Yes
Type: string
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.
The specified signing algorithm family (RSA or ECDSA) must match the algorithm family of the CA's secret key.
TemplateArn
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.
Validity
Required: Yes
Type: Validity structure
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.
ValidityNotBefore
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.

ListPermissions
result=result = result=client->listPermissions
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->listPermissionsAsync
([/ ... */]);
List all permissions on a private CA, if any, granted to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com).
These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA.
Permissions can be granted with the CreatePermission action and revoked with the DeletePermission action.
About Permissions
- If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use
CreatePermission
to grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals. - For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
- If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.

- A policy permits a user of Certificate Manager (ACM) to issue ACM certificates signed by a CA in another account.
- For ACM to manage automatic renewal of these certificates, the ACM user must configure a Service Linked Role (SLR). The SLR allows the ACM service to assume the identity of the user, subject to confirmation against the Amazon Web Services Private CA policy. For more information, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM.
- Updates made in Amazon Web Services Resource Manager (RAM) are reflected in policies. For more information, see Attach a Policy for Cross-Account Access.

RestoreCertificateAuthority
result=result = result=client->restoreCertificateAuthority
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->restoreCertificateAuthorityAsync
([/ ... */]);
Restores a certificate authority (CA) that is in the DELETED
state. You can restore a CA during the period that you defined in the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter of the DeleteCertificateAuthority action. Currently, you can specify 7 to 30 days. If you did not specify a PermanentDeletionTimeInDays value, by default you can restore the CA at any time in a 30 day period. You can check the time remaining in the restoration period of a private CA in the DELETED
state by calling the DescribeCertificateAuthority or ListCertificateAuthorities actions. The status of a restored CA is set to its pre-deletion status when the RestoreCertificateAuthority action returns. To change its status to ACTIVE
, call the UpdateCertificateAuthority action. If the private CA was in the PENDING_CERTIFICATE
state at deletion, you must use the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate action to import a certificate authority into the private CA before it can be activated. You cannot restore a CA after the restoration period has ended.

RevokeCertificate
result=result = result=client->revokeCertificate
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->revokeCertificateAsync
([/ ... */]);
Revokes a certificate that was issued inside Amazon Web Services Private CA. 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. Amazon Web Services Private CA writes the CRL to an S3 bucket that you specify. A CRL is typically updated approximately 30 minutes after a certificate is revoked. If for any reason the CRL update fails, Amazon Web Services Private CA attempts makes further attempts every 15 minutes. With Amazon CloudWatch, you can create alarms for the metrics CRLGenerated
and MisconfiguredCRLBucket
. For more information, see Supported CloudWatch Metrics.
Both Amazon Web Services Private CA 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 Access policies for CRLs in Amazon S3.
Amazon Web Services Private CA also writes revocation information to the audit report. For more information, see CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport.
You cannot revoke a root CA self-signed certificate.

TagCertificateAuthority
result=result = result=client->tagCertificateAuthority
([/* ... /]); promise=promise = promise=client->tagCertificateAuthorityAsync
([/ ... */]);
Adds one or more tags to your private CA. Tags are labels that you can use to identify and organize your Amazon Web Services 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 action. Call the ListTags action to see what tags are associated with your CA.
To attach tags to a private CA during the creation procedure, a CA administrator must first associate an inline IAM policy with the CreateCertificateAuthority
action and explicitly allow tagging. For more information, see Attaching tags to a CA at the time of creation.

Updates the status or configuration of a private certificate authority (CA). Your private CA must be in the ACTIVE
or DISABLED
state before you can update it. You can disable a private CA that is in the ACTIVE
state or make a CA that is in the DISABLED
state active again.
Both Amazon Web Services Private CA 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 Access policies for CRLs in Amazon S3.

CertificateAuthorityArn
Required: Yes
Type: string
Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the private CA that issued the certificate to be revoked. This must be of the form:
arn:aws:acm-pca:_region_:_account_:certificate-authority/_12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012_
RevocationConfiguration
Type: RevocationConfiguration structure
Contains information to enable support for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), certificate revocation list (CRL), both protocols, or neither. If you don't supply this parameter, existing capibilites remain unchanged. For more information, see the OcspConfiguration and CrlConfiguration types.
The following requirements apply to revocation configurations.
- A configuration disabling CRLs or OCSP must contain only the
Enabled=False
parameter, and will fail if other parameters such asCustomCname
orExpirationInDays
are included. - In a CRL configuration, the
S3BucketName
parameter must conform to Amazon S3 bucket naming rules. - A configuration containing a custom Canonical Name (CNAME) parameter for CRLs or OCSP must conform to RFC2396 restrictions on the use of special characters in a CNAME.
- In a CRL or OCSP configuration, the value of a CNAME parameter must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
If you update the S3BucketName
of CrlConfiguration, you can break revocation for existing certificates. In other words, if you call UpdateCertificateAuthority to update the CRL configuration's S3 bucket name, Amazon Web Services Private CA only writes CRLs to the new S3 bucket. Certificates issued prior to this point will have the old S3 bucket name in your CRL Distribution Point (CDP) extension, essentially breaking revocation. If you must update the S3 bucket, you'll need to reissue old certificates to keep the revocation working. Alternatively, you can use a CustomCname in your CRL configuration if you might need to change the S3 bucket name in the future.
Status
Status of your private CA.

CrlConfiguration
Description
Contains configuration information for a certificate revocation list (CRL). Your private certificate authority (CA) creates base CRLs. Delta CRLs are not supported. You can enable CRLs for your new or an existing private CA by setting the Enabled parameter to true
. Your private CA writes CRLs to an S3 bucket that you specify in the S3BucketName parameter. You can hide the name of your bucket by specifying a value for the CustomCname parameter. Your private CA by default copies the CNAME or the S3 bucket name to the CRL Distribution Points extension of each certificate it issues. If you want to configure this default behavior to be something different, you can set the CrlDistributionPointExtensionConfiguration parameter. Your S3 bucket policy must give write permission to Amazon Web Services Private 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.
Your private CA uses the value in the ExpirationInDays parameter to calculate the nextUpdate field in the CRL. The CRL is refreshed prior to a certificate's expiration date or when a certificate is revoked. When a certificate is revoked, it appears in the CRL until the certificate expires, and then in one additional CRL after expiration, and it always appears in the audit report.
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.
CRLs contain the following fields:
- Version: The current version number defined in RFC 5280 is V2. The integer value is 0x1.
- Signature Algorithm: The name of the algorithm used to sign the CRL.
- Issuer: The X.500 distinguished name of your private CA that issued the CRL.
- Last Update: The issue date and time of this CRL.
- Next Update: The day and time by which the next CRL will be issued.
- Revoked Certificates: List of revoked certificates. Each list item contains the following information.
- Serial Number: The serial number, in hexadecimal format, of the revoked certificate.
- Revocation Date: Date and time the certificate was revoked.
- CRL Entry Extensions: Optional extensions for the CRL entry.
* X509v3 CRL Reason Code: Reason the certificate was revoked.
- CRL Extensions: Optional extensions for the CRL.
- X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: Identifies the public key associated with the private key used to sign the certificate.
- X509v3 CRL Number:: Decimal sequence number for the CRL.
- Signature Algorithm: Algorithm used by your private CA to sign the CRL.
- Signature Value: Signature computed over the CRL.
Certificate revocation lists created by Amazon Web Services Private CA are DER-encoded. You can use the following OpenSSL command to list a CRL.
openssl crl -inform DER -text -in _crlpath_ -noout
For more information, see Planning a certificate revocation list (CRL) in the Amazon Web Services Private Certificate Authority User Guide
Members
CrlDistributionPointExtensionConfiguration
Configures the behavior of the CRL Distribution Point extension for certificates issued by your certificate authority. If this field is not provided, then the CRl Distribution Point Extension will be present and contain the default CRL URL.
CrlType
Specifies whether to create a complete or partitioned CRL. This setting determines the maximum number of certificates that the certificate authority can issue and revoke. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Private CA quotas.
COMPLETE
- The default setting. Amazon Web Services Private CA maintains a single CRL file for all unexpired certificates issued by a CA that have been revoked for any reason. Each certificate that Amazon Web Services Private CA issues is bound to a specific CRL through its CRL distribution point (CDP) extension, defined in RFC 5280.PARTITIONED
- Compared to complete CRLs, partitioned CRLs dramatically increase the number of certificates your private CA can issue.
When using partitioned CRLs, you must validate that the CRL's associated issuing distribution point (IDP) URI matches the certificate's CDP URI to ensure the right CRL has been fetched. Amazon Web Services Private CA marks the IDP extension as critical, which your client must be able to process.
CustomCname
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.
The content of a Canonical Name (CNAME) record must conform to RFC2396 restrictions on the use of special characters in URIs. Additionally, the value of the CNAME must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
CustomPath
Designates a custom file path in S3 for CRL(s). For example, http://<CustomName>/ <CustomPath>/<CrlPartition_GUID>.crl
.
Enabled
Required: Yes
Type: 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
Validity period of the CRL in days.
S3BucketName
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.
The S3BucketName
parameter must conform to the S3 bucket naming rules.
S3ObjectAcl
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.
CrlDistributionPointExtensionConfiguration
Description
Contains configuration information for the default behavior of the CRL Distribution Point (CDP) extension in certificates issued by your CA. This extension contains a link to download the CRL, so you can check whether a certificate has been revoked. To choose whether you want this extension omitted or not in certificates issued by your CA, you can set the OmitExtension parameter.
Members
OmitExtension
Required: Yes
Type: boolean
Configures whether the CRL Distribution Point extension should be populated with the default URL to the CRL. If set to true
, then the CDP extension will not be present in any certificates issued by that CA unless otherwise specified through CSR or API passthrough.
Only set this if you have another way to distribute the CRL Distribution Points ffor certificates issued by your CA, such as the Matter Distributed Compliance Ledger
This configuration cannot be enabled with a custom CNAME set.

Validity
Description
Validity specifies the period of time during which a certificate is valid. Validity can be expressed as an explicit date and time when the validity of a certificate starts or expires, or as a span of time after issuance, stated in days, months, or years. For more information, see Validity in RFC 5280.
Amazon Web Services Private CA API consumes the Validity
data type differently in two distinct parameters of the IssueCertificate
action. The required parameter IssueCertificate
:Validity
specifies the end of a certificate's validity period. The optional parameter IssueCertificate
:ValidityNotBefore
specifies a customized starting time for the validity period.
Members
Type
Required: Yes
Type: string
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.
