IAM / Client / list_signing_certificates

list_signing_certificates#

IAM.Client.list_signing_certificates(**kwargs)#

Returns information about the signing certificates associated with the specified IAM user. If none exists, the operation returns an empty list.

Although each user is limited to a small number of signing certificates, you can still paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters.

If the UserName field is not specified, the user name is determined implicitly based on the Amazon Web Services access key ID used to sign the request for this operation. This operation works for access keys under the Amazon Web Services account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage Amazon Web Services account root user credentials even if the Amazon Web Services account has no associated users.

Request Syntax

response = client.list_signing_certificates(
    UserName='string',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123
)
Parameters:

  • UserName (string) –

    The name of the IAM user whose signing certificates you want to examine.

    This parameter allows (through its regex pattern) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

  • Marker (string) – Use this parameter only when paginating results and only after you receive a response indicating that the results are truncated. Set it to the value of the Marker element in the response that you received to indicate where the next call should start.

  • MaxItems (integer) –

    Use this only when paginating results to indicate the maximum number of items you want in the response. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the IsTruncated response element is true.

    If you do not include this parameter, the number of items defaults to 100. Note that IAM might return fewer results, even when there are more results available. In that case, the IsTruncated response element returns true, and Marker contains a value to include in the subsequent call that tells the service where to continue from.

Return type:

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    Contains the response to a successful ListSigningCertificates request.

    • Certificates (list) –

      A list of the user’s signing certificate information.

      • (dict) –

        Contains information about an X.509 signing certificate.

        This data type is used as a response element in the UploadSigningCertificate and ListSigningCertificates operations.

        • UserName (string) –

          The name of the user the signing certificate is associated with.

        • CertificateId (string) –

          The ID for the signing certificate.

        • CertificateBody (string) –

          The contents of the signing certificate.

        • Status (string) –

          The status of the signing certificate. Active means that the key is valid for API calls, while Inactive means it is not.

        • UploadDate (datetime) –

          The date when the signing certificate was uploaded.

    • IsTruncated (boolean) –

      A flag that indicates whether there are more items to return. If your results were truncated, you can make a subsequent pagination request using the Marker request parameter to retrieve more items. Note that IAM might return fewer than the MaxItems number of results even when there are more results available. We recommend that you check IsTruncated after every call to ensure that you receive all your results.

    • Marker (string) –

      When IsTruncated is true, this element is present and contains the value to use for the Marker parameter in a subsequent pagination request.

Examples

The following command lists the signing certificates for the IAM user named Bob.

response = client.list_signing_certificates(
    UserName='Bob',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'Certificates': [
        {
            'CertificateBody': '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----<certificate-body>-----END CERTIFICATE-----',
            'CertificateId': 'TA7SMP42TDN5Z26OBPJE7EXAMPLE',
            'Status': 'Active',
            'UploadDate': datetime(2013, 6, 6, 21, 40, 8, 3, 157, 0),
            'UserName': 'Bob',
