Description

Uses your private certificate authority (CA), or one that has been shared with you, to issue a client certificate. This action returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the certificate. You can retrieve the certificate by calling the GetCertificate action and specifying the ARN. You cannot use the ACM ListCertificateAuthorities action to retrieve the ARNs of the certificates that you issue by using Amazon Web Services Private CA.

Parameters

-CertificateAuthorityArn <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
Required?True

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Csr <Byte[]>
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_.csrIf 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_.csrNote: A CSR must provide either a subject name or a subject alternative name or the request will be rejected. The cmdlet will automatically convert the supplied parameter of type string, string[], System.IO.FileInfo or System.IO.Stream to byte[] before supplying it to the service.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Extensions_CertificatePolicy <PolicyInformation[]>
Contains a sequence of one or more policy information terms, each of which consists of an object identifier (OID) and optional qualifiers. For more information, see NIST's definition of Object Identifier (OID).In an end-entity certificate, these terms indicate the policy under which the certificate was issued and the purposes for which it may be used. In a CA certificate, these terms limit the set of policies for certification paths that include this certificate. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesApiPassthrough_Extensions_CertificatePolicies
-Extensions_CustomExtension <CustomExtension[]>
Contains a sequence of one or more X.509 extensions, each of which consists of an object identifier (OID), a base64-encoded value, and the critical flag. For more information, see the Global OID reference database. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesApiPassthrough_Extensions_CustomExtensions
-Extensions_ExtendedKeyUsage <ExtendedKeyUsage[]>
Specifies additional purposes for which the certified public key may be used other than basic purposes indicated in the KeyUsage extension. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesApiPassthrough_Extensions_ExtendedKeyUsage
-Extensions_SubjectAlternativeName <GeneralName[]>
The subject alternative name extension allows identities to be bound to the subject of the certificate. These identities may be included in addition to or in place of the identity in the subject field of the certificate. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-IdempotencyToken <String>
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.

-TemplateArn <String>
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 PathLenN 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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Validity <Validity>
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.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ValidityNotBefore <Validity>
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.
