AWS AWS Certificate Manager CLI Commands

39 CLI commands available for AWS Certificate Manager.

CommandSample
add-tags-to-certificate

Adds one or more tags to an ACM certificate. Tags are labels that you can use to identify and organize your Amazon Web Services resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You specify the certificate on input by its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You specify the tag by using a key-valu

create-acme-domain-validation

Creates a domain validation for an ACME endpoint. Domain validations authorize the endpoint to issue certificates for specified domain names. You configure prevalidation to prove domain ownership.

create-acme-endpoint

Creates an ACME endpoint, which is a managed ACME server with a unique endpoint URL. After creation, ACME clients can use the endpoint URL to automate certificate issuance using the ACME protocol.

create-acme-external-account-binding

Creates an external account binding (EAB) for an ACME endpoint. An EAB provides credentials that authorize an ACME client to register an account with the endpoint. Each EAB is associated with an IAM role that controls what certificate operations the ACME client can perform.

delete-acme-domain-validation

Deletes a domain validation. After deletion, the ACME endpoint can no longer issue certificates for the associated domain.

delete-acme-endpoint

Deletes an ACME endpoint. After deletion, the endpoint URL is no longer accessible and ACME clients cannot issue certificates through it. Any existing external account bindings and domain validations associated with the endpoint are also deleted.

delete-acme-external-account-binding

Deletes an external account binding. Previously fetched credentials for this binding will no longer be usable for account registration. A deleted binding cannot be recovered.

delete-certificate

Deletes a certificate and its associated private key. If this action succeeds, the certificate is not available for use by Amazon Web Services services integrated with ACM. Deleting a certificate is eventually consistent. The may be a short delay before the certificate no longer appears in the list

describe-acme-account

Returns detailed metadata about the specified ACME account, including its status, public key thumbprint, and associated external account binding.

describe-acme-domain-validation

Returns detailed metadata about the specified domain validation, including its status, domain scope, and DNS resource records required for validation.

describe-acme-endpoint

Returns detailed metadata about the specified ACME endpoint, including its status, URL, authorization behavior, and certificate authority configuration.

describe-acme-external-account-binding

Returns detailed metadata about the specified external account binding, including the associated IAM role, expiration time, and usage history.

describe-certificate

Returns detailed metadata about the specified ACM certificate. If you have just created a certificate using the RequestCertificate action, there is a delay of several seconds before you can retrieve information about it.

export-certificate

Exports a private certificate issued by a private certificate authority (CA) or a public certificate for use anywhere. The exported file contains the certificate, the certificate chain, and the encrypted private key associated with the public key that is embedded in the certificate. For security, yo

get-account-configuration

Returns the account configuration options associated with an Amazon Web Services account.

get-acme-external-account-binding-credentials

Retrieves the key ID and MAC key credentials for an external account binding. These credentials are used by ACME clients during account registration to bind to the endpoint.

get-certificate

Retrieves a certificate and its certificate chain. The certificate may be either a public or private certificate issued using the ACM RequestCertificate action, or a certificate imported into ACM using the ImportCertificate action. The chain consists of the certificate of the issuing CA and the inte

import-certificate

Imports a certificate into Certificate Manager (ACM) to use with services that are integrated with ACM. Note that integrated services allow only certificate types and keys they support to be associated with their resources. Further, their support differs depending on whether the certificate is impor

list-acme-accounts

Retrieves a list of ACME accounts registered with the specified ACME endpoint. ACME accounts are created when clients use external account binding credentials to register.

list-acme-domain-validations

Retrieves a list of domain validations for the specified ACME endpoint.

list-acme-endpoints

Retrieves a list of ACME endpoints in your account. Use this operation to view all configured ACME endpoints and their current status.

list-acme-external-account-bindings

Retrieves a list of external account bindings for the specified ACME endpoint.

list-certificates

Retrieves a list of certificate ARNs and domain names. You can request that only certificates that match a specific status be listed. You can also filter by specific attributes of the certificate. Default filtering returns only RSA_2048 certificates. For more information, see Filters. By default, t

list-tags-for-certificate

Lists the tags that have been applied to the ACM certificate. Use the certificate's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to specify the certificate. To add a tag to an ACM certificate, use the AddTagsToCertificate action. To delete a tag, use the RemoveTagsFromCertificate action. This action applies only to

list-tags-for-resource

Lists the tags associated with an ACM resource. Use this action for all ACM resource types except the certificate resource type. For certificate resources, use ListTagsForCertificate instead. To add one or more tags, use the TagResource action. To remove one or more tags, use the UntagResource act

put-account-configuration

Adds or modifies account-level configurations in ACM. The supported configuration option is DaysBeforeExpiry. This option specifies the number of days prior to certificate expiration when ACM starts generating EventBridge events. ACM sends one event per day per certificate until the certificate exp

remove-tags-from-certificate

Remove one or more tags from an ACM certificate. A tag consists of a key-value pair. If you do not specify the value portion of the tag when calling this function, the tag will be removed regardless of value. If you specify a value, the tag is removed only if it is associated with the specified valu

renew-certificate

Renews an eligible ACM certificate. In order to renew your Amazon Web Services Private CA certificates with ACM, you must first grant the ACM service principal permission to do so. For more information, see Testing Managed Renewal in the ACM User Guide.

request-certificate

Requests an ACM certificate for use with other Amazon Web Services services. To request an ACM certificate, you must specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the DomainName parameter. You can also specify additional FQDNs in the SubjectAlternativeNames parameter. If you are requesting a priv

resend-validation-email

Resends the email that requests domain ownership validation. The domain owner or an authorized representative must approve the ACM certificate before it can be issued. The certificate can be approved by clicking a link in the mail to navigate to the Amazon certificate approval website and then click

revoke-acme-account

Revokes an ACME account, preventing it from requesting or revoking certificates. This operation is irreversible.

revoke-acme-external-account-binding

Revokes an external account binding, preventing new ACME accounts from being registered using this binding. Existing ACME accounts that were previously registered using the binding are not affected and must be revoked separately.

revoke-certificate

Revokes a public ACM certificate. You can only revoke certificates that have been previously exported. Once a certificate is revoked, you cannot reuse the certificate. Revoking a certificate is permanent.

search-certificates

Retrieves a list of certificates matching search criteria. You can filter certificates by X.509 attributes and ACM specific properties like certificate status, type and renewal eligibility. This operation provides more flexible filtering than ListCertificates by supporting complex filter statements.

tag-resource

Adds one or more tags to an ACM resource. Tags are labels that you can use to identify and organize your Amazon Web Services resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. Use this action for all ACM resource types except the certificate resource type. For certificate resources, use A

untag-resource

Removes one or more tags from an ACM resource. Use this action for all ACM resource types except the certificate resource type. For certificate resources, use RemoveTagsFromCertificate instead. To add one or more tags, use the TagResource action. To view all of the tags that have been applied to a

update-acme-domain-validation

Updates the prevalidation configuration of an existing domain validation.

update-acme-endpoint

Updates the configuration of an existing ACME endpoint. You can change the authorization behavior, contact requirement, or certificate authority settings.

update-certificate-options

Updates a certificate. You can use this function to specify whether to export your certificate. Certificate transparency logging opt-out is no longer available. For more information, see Certificate Transparency Logging and Certificate Manager Exportable Managed Certificates.
