Uploads a server certificate entity for the Amazon Web Services account. The server certificate entity includes a public key certificate, a private key, and an optional certificate chain, which should all be PEM-encoded.
We recommend that you use
Certificate Manager to provision, manage, and deploy your server certificates. With ACM you can request a certificate, deploy it to Amazon Web Services resources, and let ACM handle certificate renewals for you. Certificates provided by ACM are free. For more information about using ACM, see the
Certificate Manager User Guide.
For more information about working with server certificates, see
Working with server certificates in the
IAM User Guide. This topic includes a list of Amazon Web Services services that can use the server certificates that you manage with IAM.
For information about the number of server certificates you can upload, see
IAM and STS quotas in the
IAM User Guide.
Because the body of the public key certificate, private key, and the certificate chain can be large, you should use POST rather than GET when calling
UploadServerCertificate. For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the API, see
Signing Amazon Web Services API requests in the
Amazon Web Services General Reference. For general information about using the Query API with IAM, see
Calling the API by making HTTP query requests in the
IAM User Guide.
