CreateCertificateProvider

Creates an AWS IoT Core certificate provider. You can use AWS IoT Core certificate provider to customize how to sign a certificate signing request (CSR) in AWS IoT fleet provisioning. For more information, see Customizing certificate signing using AWS IoT Core certificate provider from AWS IoT Core Developer Guide.

Requires permission to access the CreateCertificateProvider action.

Important

After you create a certificate provider, the behavior of CreateCertificateFromCsr API for fleet provisioning will change and all API calls to CreateCertificateFromCsr will invoke the certificate provider to create the certificates. It can take up to a few minutes for this behavior to change after a certificate provider is created.
