Client

class ACMPCA.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority (ACM-PCA):

import boto3

client = boto3.client('acm-pca')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_certificate_authority(**kwargs)

Creates a private subordinate certificate authority (CA). You must specify the CA configuration, the revocation configuration, the CA type, and an optional idempotency token. 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 to sign, and X.500 subject information. The CRL (certificate revocation list) 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 operation returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA.

For more information, see the CrlConfiguration structure.

    • CrlConfiguration (dict) --

      Configuration of the certificate revocation list (CRL), if any, maintained by your private CA.

      • Enabled (boolean) -- [REQUIRED]

    [REQUIRED]

    The type of the certificate authority. Currently, this must be SUBORDINATE .

  • IdempotencyToken (string) -- Alphanumeric string that can be used to distinguish between calls to CreateCertificateAuthority . Idempotency tokens time out after five minutes. Therefore, if you call CreateCertificateAuthority multiple times with the same idempotency token within a five minute period, ACM PCA recognizes that you are requesting only one certificate. As a result, ACM PCA issues only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, however, ACM PCA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificates.

    'S3Key': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • AuditReportId (string) --

      An alphanumeric string that contains a report identifier.

    • S3Key (string) --

      The key that uniquely identifies the report file in your S3 bucket.

delete_certificate_authority(**kwargs)

Deletes a private certificate authority (CA). You must provide the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the private CA that you want to delete. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities operation. Before you can delete a CA, you must disable it. Call the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation and set the CertificateAuthorityStatus parameter to DISABLED .

Additionally, you can delete a CA if you are waiting for it to be created (the Status field of the CertificateAuthority is CREATING ). You can also delete it if the CA has been created but you haven't yet imported the signed certificate (the Status is PENDING_CERTIFICATE ) into ACM PCA.

If the CA is in one of the aforementioned states and you call DeleteCertificateAuthority , the CA's status changes to DELETED . However, the CA won't be permentantly 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 operation returns the time remaining in the restoration window of a Private CA in the DELETED state. To restore an eligable CA, call the RestoreCertificateAuthority operation.

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_certificate_authority(
    CertificateAuthorityArn='string',
    PermanentDeletionTimeInDays=123
)
Parameters
  • CertificateAuthorityArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called CreateCertificateAuthority . This must have the following form:

  • PermanentDeletionTimeInDays (integer) -- The number of days to make a CA restorable after it has been deleted. This can be anywhere from 7 to 30 days, with 30 being the default.
Returns

None

describe_certificate_authority(**kwargs)

Lists information about your private certificate authority (CA). You specify the private CA on input by its ARN (Amazon Resource Name). The output contains the status of your CA. This can be any of the following:

  • CREATING - ACM PCA is creating your private certificate authority.
  • PENDING_CERTIFICATE - The certificate is pending. You must use your on-premises root or subordinate CA to sign your private CA CSR and then import it into PCA.
  • ACTIVE - Your private CA is active.
  • DISABLED - Your private CA has been disabled.
  • EXPIRED - Your private CA certificate has expired.
  • FAILED - Your private CA has failed. Your CA can fail because of problems such a network outage or backend AWS failure or other errors. A failed CA can never return to the pending state. You must create a new CA.
  • DELETED - Your private CA is within the restoration period, after which it will be permanently deleted. The length of time remaining in the CA's restoration period will also be included in this operation's output.

}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --
    • Csr (string) --

      The base64 PEM-encoded certificate signing request (CSR) for your private CA certificate.

get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Raises OperationNotPageableError
Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.
Return type
L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}
Returns
A paginator object.
get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters
waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.
Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter
import_certificate_authority_certificate(**kwargs)

Imports your signed private CA certificate into ACM PCA. Before you can call this operation, you must create the private certificate authority by calling the CreateCertificateAuthority operation. You must then generate a certificate signing request (CSR) by calling the GetCertificateAuthorityCsr operation. Take the CSR to your on-premises CA and use the root certificate or a subordinate certificate to sign it. Create a certificate chain and copy the signed certificate and the certificate chain to your working directory.

Note

Your certificate chain must not include the private CA certificate that you are importing.

Note

Your on-premises CA certificate 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.

Note

The chain must be PEM-encoded.

Parameters
  • CertificateAuthorityArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    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 ``
  • Certificate (bytes) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The PEM-encoded certificate for your private CA. This must be signed by using your on-premises CA.

  • CertificateChain (bytes) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A PEM-encoded file that contains all of your certificates, other than the certificate you're importing, chaining up to your root CA. Your on-premises root certificate is the last in the chain, and each certificate in the chain signs the one preceding.

Returns

None

issue_certificate(**kwargs)

Uses your private certificate authority (CA) to issue a client certificate. This operation returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the certificate. You can retrieve the certificate by calling the GetCertificate operation and specifying the ARN.

Note

You cannot use the ACM ListCertificateAuthorities operation to retrieve the ARNs of the certificates that you issue by using ACM PCA.

)
Parameters
  • CertificateAuthorityArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    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 (bytes) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The certificate signing request (CSR) for the certificate you want to issue. 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 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
  • SigningAlgorithm (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the algorithm that will be used to sign the certificate to be issued.

  • Validity (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The type of the validity period.

    • Value (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      Time period.

    • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Specifies whether the Value parameter represents days, months, or years.

  • IdempotencyToken (string) -- Custom string that can be used to distinguish between calls to the IssueCertificate operation. Idempotency tokens time out after one hour. Therefore, if you call IssueCertificate multiple times with the same idempotency token within 5 minutes, ACM PCA recognizes that you are requesting only one certificate and will issue only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, PCA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificates.

restore_certificate_authority(**kwargs)

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 operation. 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 operations. The status of a restored CA is set to its pre-deletion status when the RestoreCertificateAuthority operation returns. To change its status to ACTIVE , call the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation. If the private CA was in the PENDING_CERTIFICATE state at deletion, you must use the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate operation 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.

Parameters
  • CertificateAuthorityArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    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 (dict) --

    Revocation information for your private CA.

    • CrlConfiguration (dict) --

      Configuration of the certificate revocation list (CRL), if any, maintained by your private CA.

      • Enabled (boolean) -- [REQUIRED]

        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 operation or for an existing CA when you call the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation.

      • ExpirationInDays (integer) --

        Number of days until a certificate expires.

      • CustomCname (string) --

        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.

      • S3BucketName (string) --

        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 ACM PCA to write the CRL to your bucket.

  • Status (string) -- Status of your private CA.
