register-certificate

Description

Registers a device certificate with AWS IoT. If you have more than one CA certificate that has the same subject field, you must specify the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate being registered.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  register-certificate
--certificate-pem <value>
[--ca-certificate-pem <value>]
[--set-as-active | --no-set-as-active]
[--status <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--certificate-pem (string)

The certificate data, in PEM format.

--ca-certificate-pem (string)

The CA certificate used to sign the device certificate being registered.

--set-as-active | --no-set-as-active (boolean)

A boolean value that specifies if the certificate is set to active.

--status (string)

The status of the register certificate request.

Possible values:

• ACTIVE

• INACTIVE

• REVOKED

• PENDING_TRANSFER

• REGISTER_INACTIVE

• PENDING_ACTIVATION

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To register a self signed device certificate

The following register-certificate example registers the deviceCert.pem device certificate signed by the rootCA.pem CA certificate. The CA certificate must be registered before you use it to register a self-signed device certificate. The self-signed certificate must be signed by the same CA certificate you pass to this command.

aws iot register-certificate \
    --certificate-pem file://deviceCert.pem \
    --ca-certificate-pem file://rootCA.pem

Output:

{
    "certificateArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:cert/488b6a7f2acdeb00a77384e63c4e40b18b1b3caaae57b7272ba44c45e3448142",
    "certificateId": "488b6a7f2acdeb00a77384e63c4e40b18b1b3caaae57b7272ba44c45e3448142"
 }

Output

certificateArn -> (string)

The certificate ARN.

certificateId -> (string)

The certificate identifier.
