Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
This is the Amazon Web Services Private Certificate Authority API Reference. It provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types involved in creating and managing a private certificate authority (CA) for your organization.
The documentation for each action shows the API request parameters and the JSON response. Alternatively, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to access an API that is tailored to the programming language or platform that you prefer. For more information, see Amazon Web Services SDKs.
Each Amazon Web Services Private CA API operation has a quota that determines the number of times the operation can be called per second. Amazon Web Services Private CA throttles API requests at different rates depending on the operation. Throttling means that Amazon Web Services Private CA rejects an otherwise valid request because the request exceeds the operation's quota for the number of requests per second. When a request is throttled, Amazon Web Services Private CA returns a ThrottlingException error. Amazon Web Services Private CA does not guarantee a minimum request rate for APIs.
To see an up-to-date list of your Amazon Web Services Private CA quotas, or to request a quota increase, log into your Amazon Web Services account and visit the Service Quotas console.
Sending a Request Using ACMPCA
var acmpca = new AWS.ACMPCA();
acmpca.createCertificateAuthority(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
else console.log(data); // successful response
});
Locking the API Version
In order to ensure that the ACMPCA object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:
var acmpca = new AWS.ACMPCA({apiVersion: '2017-08-22'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using
the acmpca service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
acmpca: '2017-08-22',
// other service API versions
};
var acmpca = new AWS.ACMPCA();

Property Details
Method Details
createCertificateAuthority(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a root or subordinate private certificate authority (CA). You must specify the CA configuration, an optional configuration for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and/or a certificate revocation list (CRL), the CA type, and an optional idempotency token to avoid accidental creation of multiple CAs. 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, and X.500 subject information. The OCSP configuration can optionally specify a custom URL for the OCSP responder. The CRL 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 action returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA.
Amazon Web Services Private CA assets that are stored in Amazon S3 can be protected with encryption. For more information, see Encrypting Your CRLs.
createCertificateAuthorityAuditReport(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates an audit report that lists every time that your CA private key is used. The report is saved in the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify on input. The IssueCertificate and RevokeCertificate actions use the private key.
Amazon Web Services Private CA assets that are stored in Amazon S3 can be protected with encryption. For more information, see Encrypting Your Audit Reports.
createPermission(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Grants one or more permissions on a private CA to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com). These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA.
You can list current permissions with the ListPermissions action and revoke them with the DeletePermission action.
About Permissions
-
If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use
CreatePermissionto grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals. -
For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
-
If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.
deleteCertificateAuthority(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes a private certificate authority (CA). You must provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the private CA that you want to delete. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities action.
Before you can delete a CA that you have created and activated, you must disable it. To do this, call the UpdateCertificateAuthority action and set the CertificateAuthorityStatus parameter to DISABLED.
Additionally, you can delete a CA if you are waiting for it to be created (that is, the status of the CA is CREATING). You can also delete it if the CA has been created but you haven't yet imported the signed certificate into Amazon Web Services Private CA (that is, the status of the CA is PENDING_CERTIFICATE).
When you successfully call DeleteCertificateAuthority, the CA's status changes to DELETED. However, the CA won't be permanently 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 action returns the time remaining in the restoration window of a private CA in the DELETED state. To restore an eligible CA, call the RestoreCertificateAuthority action.
deletePermission(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Revokes permissions on a private CA granted to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com).
These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA. If you revoke these permissions, ACM will no longer renew the affected certificates automatically.
Permissions can be granted with the CreatePermission action and listed with the ListPermissions action.
About Permissions
-
If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use
CreatePermissionto grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals. -
For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
-
If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.
deletePolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes the resource-based policy attached to a private CA. Deletion will remove any access that the policy has granted. If there is no policy attached to the private CA, this action will return successful.
If you delete a policy that was applied through Amazon Web Services Resource Access Manager (RAM), the CA will be removed from all shares in which it was included.
The Certificate Manager Service Linked Role that the policy supports is not affected when you delete the policy.
The current policy can be shown with GetPolicy and updated with PutPolicy.
About Policies
-
A policy grants access on a private CA to an Amazon Web Services customer account, to Amazon Web Services Organizations, or to an Amazon Web Services Organizations unit. Policies are under the control of a CA administrator. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with Amazon Web Services Private CA.
-
A policy permits a user of Certificate Manager (ACM) to issue ACM certificates signed by a CA in another account.
-
For ACM to manage automatic renewal of these certificates, the ACM user must configure a Service Linked Role (SLR). The SLR allows the ACM service to assume the identity of the user, subject to confirmation against the Amazon Web Services Private CA policy. For more information, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM.
-
Updates made in Amazon Web Services Resource Manager (RAM) are reflected in policies. For more information, see Attach a Policy for Cross-Account Access.
describeCertificateAuthority(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists information about your private certificate authority (CA) or one that has been shared with you. 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- Amazon Web Services Private CA is creating your private certificate authority. -
PENDING_CERTIFICATE- The certificate is pending. You must use your Amazon Web Services Private CA-hosted or on-premises root or subordinate CA to sign your private CA CSR and then import it into Amazon Web Services Private CA. -
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 back-end Amazon Web Services 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 is permanently deleted. The length of time remaining in the CA's restoration period is also included in this action's output.
describeCertificateAuthorityAuditReport(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists information about a specific audit report created by calling the CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport action. Audit information is created every time the certificate authority (CA) private key is used. The private key is used when you call the IssueCertificate action or the RevokeCertificate action.
getCertificate(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves a certificate from your private CA or one that has been shared with you. The ARN of the certificate is returned when you call the IssueCertificate action. You must specify both the ARN of your private CA and the ARN of the issued certificate when calling the GetCertificate action. You can retrieve the certificate if it is in the ISSUED state. You can call the CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport action to create a report that contains information about all of the certificates issued and revoked by your private CA.
getCertificateAuthorityCertificate(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves the certificate and certificate chain for your private certificate authority (CA) or one that has been shared with you. Both the certificate and the chain are base64 PEM-encoded. The chain does not include the CA certificate. Each certificate in the chain signs the one before it.
getCertificateAuthorityCsr(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves the certificate signing request (CSR) for your private certificate authority (CA). The CSR is created when you call the CreateCertificateAuthority action. Sign the CSR with your Amazon Web Services Private CA-hosted or on-premises root or subordinate CA. Then import the signed certificate back into Amazon Web Services Private CA by calling the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate action. The CSR is returned as a base64 PEM-encoded string.
getPolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves the resource-based policy attached to a private CA. If either the private CA resource or the policy cannot be found, this action returns a ResourceNotFoundException.
The policy can be attached or updated with PutPolicy and removed with DeletePolicy.

importCertificateAuthorityCertificate(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Imports a signed private CA certificate into Amazon Web Services Private CA. This action is used when you are using a chain of trust whose root is located outside Amazon Web Services Private CA. Before you can call this action, the following preparations must in place:
-
In Amazon Web Services Private CA, call the CreateCertificateAuthority action to create the private CA that you plan to back with the imported certificate.
-
Call the GetCertificateAuthorityCsr action to generate a certificate signing request (CSR).
-
Sign the CSR using a root or intermediate CA hosted by either an on-premises PKI hierarchy or by a commercial CA.
-
Create a certificate chain and copy the signed certificate and the certificate chain to your working directory.
Amazon Web Services Private CA supports three scenarios for installing a CA certificate:
-
Installing a certificate for a root CA hosted by Amazon Web Services Private CA.
-
Installing a subordinate CA certificate whose parent authority is hosted by Amazon Web Services Private CA.
-
Installing a subordinate CA certificate whose parent authority is externally hosted.
The following additional requirements apply when you import a CA certificate.
-
Only a self-signed certificate can be imported as a root CA.
-
A self-signed certificate cannot be imported as a subordinate CA.
-
Your certificate chain must not include the private CA certificate that you are importing.
-
Your root CA 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.
-
The chain must be PEM-encoded.
-
The maximum allowed size of a certificate is 32 KB.
-
The maximum allowed size of a certificate chain is 2 MB.

issueCertificate(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.
listCertificateAuthorities(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists the private certificate authorities that you created by using the CreateCertificateAuthority action.
listPermissions(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
List all permissions on a private CA, if any, granted to the Certificate Manager (ACM) service principal (acm.amazonaws.com).
These permissions allow ACM to issue and renew ACM certificates that reside in the same Amazon Web Services account as the CA.
Permissions can be granted with the CreatePermission action and revoked with the DeletePermission action.
About Permissions
-
If the private CA and the certificates it issues reside in the same account, you can use
CreatePermissionto grant permissions for ACM to carry out automatic certificate renewals. -
For automatic certificate renewal to succeed, the ACM service principal needs permissions to create, retrieve, and list certificates.
-
If the private CA and the ACM certificates reside in different accounts, then permissions cannot be used to enable automatic renewals. Instead, the ACM certificate owner must set up a resource-based policy to enable cross-account issuance and renewals.
